§ Mr. Garro Jonesasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that Mr. G. Davidson, of 87, Hutcheon Street, Aberdeen, has had his hospital allowances of £19 4s. forfeited for the reason that on returning to Edenhall Hospital, Musselburgh, from a visit to a firm of limb-fitters he was alleged to be intoxicated, though not guilty of any other improper conduct; that this man lost fully £90 in wages by having to undergo this operation; and whether he will take steps to secure the restoration of this hospital allowance, in the interests of less severe treatment to disabled ex-service men?
§ Mr. RamsbothamI am making inquiries into the circumstances of this case and will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as these are completed.
