HC Deb 28 May 1957 vol 571 cc19-20W
43. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, before deciding on the amount of each of the awards under the Injury Warrant, 1952, to be paid to dependants of the officers and crew of the Scottish Fishery Cruiser "Vaila", he will require as a basis for assessing these awards from each of the dependants evidence as to the loss each has sustained.

Lord John Hope

Awards under the Injury Warrant, 1952, are related to the salary and emoluments of the deceased civil servant. They therefore take account of the loss sustained by his death.
