HC Deb 30 June 1881 vol 262 cc1648-9
MAJOR O'BEIRNE

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether the Purchase Captains who happened to be on half pay at the time of the abolition of Purchase, and who are now upon full pay, will receive an additional pension of £50 per annum, bearing in mind the fact that Purchase Captains receive this extra pension by the Army Warrant that takes effect on the 1st July next?

MR. CHILDERS

My hon. and gallant Friend cannot have heard the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Horsham (Sir Henry Fletcher) on the 23rd instant, which was in the affirmative, to a precisely similar inquiry.
