§ Mr. LUMLEYasked the Minister of Pensions whether a gratuity due to a soldier killed in the War, when paid E o a parent who receives a dependant's pension, is regarded as part of that dependant's pension paid in advance?
Mr. ROBERTSA war gratuity forming part of a deceased soldier's estate, and paid over by the War Office to the soldier's parent, is not taken into account by my Department in connection with any award of pension to the parent that may be found admissible.
