§ MR. PERRY WATLINGTONsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether the case of the Civilian Chief Officers in the Coast Guard Service, appointed prior to the 4tli of August, 1829, has been under the consideration of Her Majesty's Government, and whether it is 103 intended to grant any additional retiring allowance to these Officers?
§ LORD CLARENCE PAGETsaid, the civilian chief officers in the Coast Guard Service had superannuations granted to them in accordance with the Civil Service Superannuation Act. He believed their grievance was that they were not put upon the same footing as to pay and superannuation as those Officers belonging to the Navy who were liable to be called to active service at any moment. It was not the intention of the Admiralty to propose any such additional retiring allowance as that referred to in the hon. Member's Question.
