Mr. ALFRED DAVIES (Clitheroe):

asked the Minister of Pensions whether an error has been made in the reassessment of allowance payable to Elizabeth Hadfield, aged 77 years, dependant of the late Gunner Charles Hadfield, No. 676,803, Royal Field Artillery; and whether he is aware that the allowance has been reduced from 12s. per week to 6s. per week, whilst the circumstances are exactly the same?

I very much regret that this award was incorrectly reduced. Pension at the rate of 12s. a week has been restored with effect from the date of the last payment at that rate.
