§ Sir T. BRAMSDONasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he is aware that the usual pensions granted from Greenwich funds to the wives of naval ratings sent to the Great Yarmouth Hospital average 6s. weekly; and will he investigate the possibility of augmenting this allowance from naval funds in view of the hardship inflicted by the surrender of the husband's pension while detained?
§ Mr. AMMONAs regards the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to my reply of the 26th June to 949W the hon. Member for North Portsmouth (Sir B. Falle). As regards the second part, I regret that it is not possible to augment the allowances from naval funds.
