§ Mr. G. BARKERasked the Minister of Pensions if a special medical examination was made on 15th February, 1922, of Private Walter Power, late of the 17th Battalion, Hampshire Regiment, and now residing at 54, Railway Street, Llanhilleth, Monmouthshire; if so, what is the finding of the board; if he is aware that Power was discharged on 14th December, 1918, after three years' service in France; that his medical doctor certifies him as unable to work owing to myalgia; that his pension allowance is only 20 per cent. of full pension; that he claims eight weeks' treatment allowance at £1 8s. and two weeks at £1 12s.; and that he asks that his pension shall be considerably increased to enable him to live; and will he give favourable consideration to this urgent case?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI would refer my hon. Friend to my previous answer of the 2nd March. I understand that the man has this week made a fresh application to his local committee for treatment, and a medical examination is accordingly being arranged.
