§ Mr. HOLMESasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will give reconsideration to the case of Maurice M. Newman, who served as Gunner No. 833,454, Royal Artillery, and who, during the period of his service, developed an illness which necessitated the amputation of a leg, with the result that he has been discharged from the Army without an award?
Mr. COOPERI have reconsidered this case, but, as the disability which led to the amputation of the leg was not in any way due to military service, I regret that Mr. Newman cannot be awarded a disability pension.
