§ Mr. O'Halloranasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether she will consider waiving the date of December 1922 for claims submitted for ex-gratia awards to civilians injured as a result of air raids during the 1914–1918 war.
§ Mr. Alec JonesAs has already been explained to my hon. Friend in correspondence, I am afraid that it is not possible now to vary the closing date for applications, as the relevant machinery for considering claims was wound up at the end of 1922.
