§ Mr. ALLEN PARKINSONasked the Minister of Pensions if he is aware that Private W. T. Rimmer, No. 15619, Royal Fusiliers, of 83, Tram Street, Plate Bridge, North Wigan, has been unable to follow his work since the 21st February, 1922, through H. E. wounds through his left thigh; that his own medical man states that he requires operative treatment, which he is willing to undergo; that he has not received treatment allowance, and has a wife and four children to support with no income except his small pension; and whether he will have inquiries made into this case at once and, if he finds that this man is entitled to treatment allowance, authorise its payment at once?

§ Mr. MACPHERSONFour medical examinations made during the past year have shown that the remaining disablement is slight. In view, however, of my hon. Friend's representations I am having arrangements made for a further medical examination, with a view to determining whether the man is in need of treatment for his disability.
