§ Mr. C. EDWARDSasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that Mr. Frank Hudd, 37, The Crescent, Bedwas 721W (Mon.), late lance-corporal 2nd and 3rd South Wales Borderers, applied for and was refused a lump sum to enable him to take a small holding which had been offered him by the county council, he having had experience in agriculture and having been advised by the medical board to take up this kind of work; and whether, seeing that his parents live on the adjoining small holding, which would have been a considerable help, he will take steps to provide against such decisions as this?
Mr. ROBERTSThis case has been carefully considered, but I regret that I am unable to grant any assistance in the circumstances mentioned.
