HC Deb 04 May 1950 vol 474 c242W
Mr. Viant

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether any compensation will be paid to the relatives of the three nurses and the laundrymaid who died from smallpox contracted while performing their duties in connection with the recent outbreak of smallpox in a fever hospital at Glasgow.

Mr. McNeil

If claims for compensation are made by the dependants of the three nurses and the laundrymaid referred to, such claims will fall to be determined by the appropriate court or independent statutory authorities according to the nature of the claims made.
