asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he is aware that Mr. George Stevens, who was working at the Woolwich Arsenal, met with a serious accident on 25th July, 1921; that he was receiving £3 14s. per week until 28th November, 1921; and that his compensation was reduced down to 8s. 5d. per week; and, seeing that this is a violation of the Workmen's Compensation Act, as the man should receive at least £1 15s. in accordance with the Act, will he take action in the matter?

I am inquiring into this case, and will communicate with the hon. Member.
