asked the Minister of Pensions whether the widow of the late Mr. F. Alsopp, No. 477120, sapper, Royal Engineers, has not yet received any pension or allowance as the result of the death of her husband from an illness alleged to be due to military service; and whether, having regard to the urgency of the case, he will expedite the necessary inquiries?

This case has been fully considered in the light of all the available evidence, but I regret that it has not been found possible to admit the widow's claim to pension. She has been informed of her right of appeal to the Pensions Appeal Tribunal against this decision.
