MR. REGINALD LUCAS (Portsmouth)

To ask the Secretary of State for War whether, and, if so, upon what terms, boy service in the Army is recognised as counting for pension.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) Boy's service counts towards pension under the same rules as man's service, except that ½d. a day is deducted for every complete year of service under the age of eighteen.
