HC Deb 08 May 1924 vol 173 c637W
Earl WINTERTON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department, whether he will make a grant for the education of the two young sons of the late Mr. Thomas Guyatt, British Consul at Vigo, who died on 1st February last at Worthing from heart failure, in view of Mr. Guyatt's distinguished record in the public service since 1891, and the valuable work which he did as a Consul throughout the War, the strain of which is considered to have been mostly responsible for his death?

Mr. LUNN

I regret that there is no fund from which the Foreign Office can make grants for the education of the children of deceased Consular officers however distinguished their service may have been.
