§ Mr. N. MACLEANasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that Private Charles M'Bride, No. 26,854, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, was put on treatment in November, 1919, and was continued on treatment up to February, 1921; that, during his service in the Army, his mother received an allowance 1242W of 12s. 6d. per week; that an allowance of 10s. per week was paid to her while he was on treatment in respect of his mother being a dependant; that, in January, 1921, M'Bride was informed that a mistake had been made and his mother was only entitled to 7s. 6d. per week, and he would be required to repay the extra money she had received; that 7s. 6d. was paid for two weeks and M'Bride was then informed that his mother was not entitled to anything; and that M'Bride is in receipt of a pension of 16s. per week, from which 4s. is being deducted every week to repay the money his mother received; and whether he is prepared to review the circumstances of this case and give Mrs. M'Bride the allowance to which she seems entitled?
