§ Mr. HAYDAYasked, the Home Secretary if he is aware that Officer Nicholson, Nottingham Prison, who was transferred in the public interest and was unable to obtain official quarters, a house, or 1366W furnished apartments, having lost his wife by death, and whose daughter acted as housekeeper, involving the keeping of two homes, was refused the usual subsistence allowance and was regarded as a bachelor with no dependants; and whether his case will be reconsidered?
§ Mr. SHORTTThis is the officer referred to in my reply to a question by the hon. and gallant Member for the Abbey Division of Westminster Brigadier General Nicholson) on the 20th March last. It appeared that the daughter of the officer in question was not living with him and was not dependent on him, and therefore the allowance could not be granted. I see no reason for reconsidering the case.
