§ COLONEL HAMILTON (Southwark, Rotherhithe)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether any steps have been taken to re-assess the additional amounts of compensation granted in August, 1888, to the six Regimental Colonels of Royal Artillery, who, up to that date, had been compulsorily retired for age, seeing that these additional awards have been received under protest; and, whether any steps have been taken to re-assess the amounts of compensation granted to the two Regimental Colonels of Royal Artillery, who have been compulsorily retired for age since August, 1888, seeing that the awards made to them have likewise been received under protest?
§ * MR. E. STANHOPENo, Sir; the awards re-assessed up to August, 1888, and those since made (which have been calculated on the revised basis) are considered to give the utmost compensation due.
