§ MR. PIRIE (Aberdeen, N.)To ask the Secretary of State for War if he will state what increase of pension or other remuneration has been granted to those retired officers re-employed during the late Boer war who have received substantive promotion in recognition of their services rendered during the campaign; and, if no such increase has yet been granted, will instructions be issued that they shall receive the retired pay of the rank to which they have been promoted.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) Re-employed retired officers promoted while serving receive such advantages in retired pay as the length of service in the higher rank would entitle them to. Perhaps the hon. Member would explain to what specific cases he refers.
