§ Sir C. OMANasked the Minister of Pensions whether his attention has been drawn to the case of Sergeant Robert Junor, Royal Scots (Case 1/WJ/328 (A)), on whose decease, certified by the post-discharge medical officer of the Scottish northern district to be due to chronic tubular disease of the femur, due to his military service in the great war, no pension being granted to his widow and children on the alleged ground that his death was due to disease otherwise contracted; and whether, in view of the evidence of the chairman of the Northern Scottish area and the post-discharge medical officer on this case, he will reconsider this decision?
Mr. ROBERTSSince this case was last under consideration further information has been brought to my notice which leads me to have the whole facts of the case brought under review. This will necessarily take some days, but I will communicate the result to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
