§ Earl WINTERTONasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is aware that William S. Atkins, second writer, No. M/34775, His Majesty's Ship "Victory," applied for his discharge in June, 1923, and again 652W the hon. Member for West Birkenhead (Mr. Egan) on the 5th instant, of which I am sending my hon. Friend a copy. The soldier's mother thus becomes eligible for a parent's pension should she be in need, and infirm. I am arranging for an application to be considered on that basis.
