§ MAJOR SEELY (Isle of Wight)To ask the Secretary of State for War if he can take steps with a view to ensuring that pensioned officers who were recalled to service during the South African War shall be placed on the same footing financially as those officers who had accepted a gratuity in lieu of pension.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Arnold-Forster.) This question was thoroughly considered two years ago, and I am not prepared to reopen it.
