HC Deb 02 March 1871 vol 204 cc1164-5
COLONEL BARTTELOT

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether there is not a Report made by actuaries upon the cost of carrying out the recommendations in detail contained in the Report of the Committee upon Army (System of Retirement), July 1867; and, if so, whether he will lay such Report upon the Table of the House?

MR. CARDWELL

Sir, a Report upon the subject was laid before Parliament in 1868, and a further Report was made at a later period, which has not been presented; but the actuariesin form me that its substance, in a much improved form, is to be found in their evidence before the Committee on Ordnance Retirements last year, which has been laid upon the Table.
