Mr. LLOYD MORGAN (Carmarthenshire, W.)I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office, whether, in the case of Officers now serving abroad in sub-tropical climates who draw retired pay plus £150 in lieu of the pay of their rank, he will consider the question of establishing for them the same rate of pay as that paid to other officers of the same rank who have commuted their pensions for a lump sum.
LORD STANLEYOfficers on retired pay when re-employed may draw the pay of their rank or retired pay plus £150 whichever is most advantageous. Officers who retired on a gratuity when re-employed draw the pay of their rank. There is no advantage to be gained by changing this arrangement.
