§ Mr. Naylorasked the Minister of Pensions whether he will give further consideration to the application for a pension to Private Ernest Crook, 13015758, Pioneer Corps, who was passed A1 on entry a year ago and who was discharged as unfit for further service on 7th April, 1941, but whose claim to a pension has been rejected on the ground that his disability was not the result of service, notwithstanding the fact that prior to joining he had not suffered from the complaint, which he contends was caused by working long hours without proper and regular meals?
