Mr. S. Shephard
asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he is aware that the National Coal Board have terminated the coal and rent allowance, paid by the Sheepbridge Coal and Iron Company, to Mr. H. B. Crofts, a former employee who was seriously wounded at Arnhem; and if he will take steps to see that compassionate allowances in such cases are continued.
Mr. Shinwell
