§ SIR J. LUBBOCK (London University)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the seven-sixtieths hitherto added to the pensions allowed to medical officers has been withdrawn; and, if so, from what date such change would come into effect?
*SIR J. GORSTIn the case of all appointments made to professional offices in the Civil Service since 30th November, 1888, the Treasury Minutes entitling the holders to retired allowances above the rate of one-sixtieth of the salary for each complete year of service have been suspended; and if Parliament should take away the power to grant such special rates of pension, no 368 officer appointed since the date named will receive on retirement the benefit of additional years.
