§ MR. BODKIN (Roscommon, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if his attention has been directed to the 1280 correspondence between his Department and Mr. John M. Tighe, of 8, Upper Sherrard Street, Dublin, wherein Mr. Tighe claims to be entitled to an addition to his pension in respect of resumed and continued service, and also to extra remuneration for special work done, and cites precedents in support of his claim; and if he will kindly give the matter his prompt and favourable consideration?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. T. HIBBERT,) OldhamI have seen the correspondence between the Treasury and Mr. J. M. Tighe. No increase of pension can legally be awarded, because the later employment, which was temporary, does not entitle to pension. Any claim for work done should be addressed to the Head of the Department in which the work was performed.
§ MR. BODKINsaid, he would submit to the right hon. Gentleman the correspondence in a precisely similar case in Dublin, in which an increased pension was awarded.
