§ Mr. HALLSasked the Minister of Pensions whether, when a disabled soldier in receipt of a pension deserts his wife and children, there is any means of securing the whole or part of such pension towards the maintenance of his wife and children?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI have full power in such a case to pay the allowances for wife and children, attached to the pension, direct to the deserted wife, but I have no authority to divert to their benefit any part of the man's pension.
