Mr. J. JONESasked the Chief Secretary whether, in connection with the loss sustained by Mr. Doran owing to damage to his artificial leg by members of the Royal Air Force on the 6th May last, he has now ascertained whether inquiries are being made by the Royal Air Force or other military body; and, if so, whether 47W he will give instructions that this question of compensation shall be inquired into by civil servants of the Crown, and not by people who may have been implicated in the affair?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODThere is some doubt as to whether the damage done to Mr. Doran's artificial leg was caused by a bullet. I intend, however, to give him the benefit of the doubt and to pay for the damage to his leg.
