§ Mr. R. C. Morrisonasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that 13048069 Private James Alfred Parsons, 11 Company, Auxiliary Military Pioneer Corps, was sent to St. John's Hospital, Chelmsford, on 28th August, 1940, transferred to Papworth Colony on 6th November, 1940, discharged from the Army while still in hospital, and is at present at Berks and Bucks Joint Sanatorium; whether it is customary to discharge a man while seriously ill, and stop his wife's allowance; what is being done on behalf of this ex-service man and his wife; and whether, as he is too ill to make application himself, his case will be transferred to the Ministry of Pensions for consideration as to his entitlement to pension?
§ Captain MargessonI am looking into this case and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
