§ CAPTAIN NORTONI beg to ask the Postmaster-General if he can state what Army Service men who took Post Office service during 1891 and 1892, under what was termed the Ferguson Act, are entitled to add to Post Office service for assessment of pension.
§ THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Lord STANLEY,) Lancashire, WesthoughtonI do not know to what Act of Parliament the hon. Member's Question refers; but if he will give me fuller particulars I shall be happy to give him the information he desires. I may, however, state that the various schemes, which have from time to time been put in force for the employment of soldiers in the Post Office, have never included any arrangements for adding military service to Post Office service for the assessment of pension.
