asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that the dependant's allowance in respect of the widowed mother of 749172 Aircraft-man A. J. Grist, 103 Squadron, Royal Air Force, had to be reconsidered, and that on 11th December the mother was instructed to return her pay warrant book for readjustment; that from then and through the Christmas period no allowance was paid, the mother having to rely upon her widow's pension; and whether steps will be taken to prevent such undue delay in future cases?
