HC Deb 19 December 1928 vol 223 cc3027-8W
Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Attorney-General whether any steps have been taken to ascertain whether the agreement or terms of settlement in the case of the Attorney-General v. Whitfield, of 4th October, 1927, have been carried out; and, if so, is he satisfied that such agreement has been honoured?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I have been in communication with the solicitors charged with the conduct of these proceedings on several occasions since the matter was before the Court, and I have received an assurance from them that the balance of the fund in question is being spent in the relief of distress amongst ex-service men and their dependants, and not towards any other object of the British Legion. This is in accordance with the terms of settlement.
