HC Deb 30 July 1923 vol 167 c1068W
Mr. J. MURRAY

asked the President of the Board of Education whether his attention has been drawn to the case of Frederick Green, who was born 24th September, 1882, entered a training college in September, 1915, and, after completing one year's training, joined the forces in 1916, was demobilised in February 1919, and commenced teaching and received his certificate in March, 1919, and who but for the War would have left college in 1917 and been eligible for pension in 1947, but is now ineligible under the Regulations; and whether he will consider the granting of relief in such cases?

Mr. EDWARD WOOD

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. On the general question, I regret I can add nothing to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for East Bradford (Mr. Jowett) on the 7th March last.
