HC Deb 02 May 1940 vol 360 c918W
Mr. Hogg

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that the application of No. 5376765, Sergeant Toms, for extra dependants' allowance was received by the War Service Grants Advisory Committee on 24th February, 1940, and that no award has yet been made; and when is it hoped to make an award in this case?

Sir W. Womersley

An award, with retrospective effect, was notified in this case on 17th April. The delay was due to difficulty in obtaining important information which had been asked for.
