§ DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether Army Medical Officers of the Retired List re-employed will receive the same pay, allowances, and military status as other officers of their rank; and, whether their additional service will count for increased pension when compulsorily retired by age; and, if not, what advantages they will derive?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY, WAR DEPARTMENT (Mr. BRODRICK) (Surrey, Guildford)(who replied) said: As regards pay and allowances, the Regulations limit the payment to a retired medical officer to £150, in addition to his retired pay. As regards military status, such officers are entitled, under certain restrictions, to the rank and position which they held in the Army Medical Department before their retirement. They do not count service subsequent to retirement towards increase of pension.
