HC Deb 06 March 1879 vol 244 c278
SIR EARDLEY WILMOT

asked the Secretary of State for War, If, when he considers the question of half-pay service, owing to sickness not being allowed to count towards voluntary retirement, he will also take into consideration the case of those officers who have been promoted to the Half-pay List, as a reward for their services, and yet are not permitted to reckon such half-pay service towards voluntary retirement?

COLONEL STANLEY

, in reply, said, he had no objection to refer this subject to a small Committee, which would, at the same time, inquire into the question raised by the hon. and gallant Member for Hereford (Colonel Arbuthnot).
