§ Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWNasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that Evelyn Maud Wilkes, daughter of the late sergeant No. R/24,248, King's Royal Rifle Corps, who died in May, 1920, as a result of War service, is a confirmed invalid, having suffered since birth from infantile paralysis and epilepsy; and whether, having regard to this fact, he will look into the case, with a view to the reissue of war orphan's allowance, which ceased on the 7th December, 1933?
§ Major TRYONI have no authority to grant a further extension of the allowance which ceased when the young person referred to reached the age of 21 years for the reasons which I explained in my reply on 5th February to the hon. Members for Deritend (Mr. Smedley Crooke) and Rhondda, East (Mr. Mainwaring) of which I am sending my hon. and gallant Friend a copy.
