§ MR. H. T. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN (Kent, Faversham)I beg to ask the Civil Lord of the Admiralty, whether the Admiralty will consider the case of the hired men in Her Majesty's Dockyards, who, if they are placed upon the establishment, are not allowed to count for pension the time they may have served as hired men, although in many cases this time amounts to many years?
§ MR. E. ROBERTSONAs I explained to the hon. Member last Session, the Regulations governing the award of pensions are common to all those employed in the service of the Crown, and are based upon the Superannuation Acts, and the Treasury Minutes issued under their authority. It is not in the power of the Admiralty alone to act in the direction suggested in the question.
§ MR. HOZIERsaid he should call attention to the matter on the Navy Estimates.
