§ MR. CONYBEARE (Cornwall, Camborne)asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether there is in existence a War Office Order to the effect that all Army pensioners employed in Government Departments shall receive a half penny per day for each year's service, not exceeding in the aggregate 8d. per day; whether a man who has served in the Army for 22 years, and in the Post Office for 20 years, is entitled to such superannuation allowance; and, whether such old service man is rightly refused the said allowance, on the ground that his pension from the Army is more than two-thirds of the pay he was receiving from the Post Office?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY, WAR DEPARTMENT (Mr. BRODRICK) (Surrey, Guildford)(who replied) said: The Regulation referred to applies only to appointments made before the 1st of July, 1881, to certain departments of 686 the Army and to the Staff of the Army, a list of which is given in Article 1,151 of the Army Pay Warrant. It has no reference to service in the Post Office.
