HC Deb 04 August 1924 vol 176 c2514
53. Major HORE-BELISHA

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if the present Air Force Regulations provide, in the event of Air Force pensioners, being recalled or invited to return to service in case of a national emergency, that such pensioners will be entitled to draw their pensions while serving and count their war service for additional pension; and whether he will give the reference to the Regulation?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Mr. Leach)

The question, so far as the Royal Air Force is concerned, is under consideration, and the Regulations contain as yet no provision upon the subject.

Major HORE-BELISHA

Will the hon. Gentleman see that these pensioners are treated in the same way as the Admiralty have treated theirs, and not in the way in which the War Office have treated theirs?

Mr. LEACH

I think the hon. and gallant Member can have confidence in our sense of fairness.
