HC Deb 29 March 1905 vol 143 cc1525-6
DR. MACNAMARA

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he will consider the desirableness of providing for such alterations in existing regulations as will enable Civil servants who have served in the Army or the Navy to obtain recognition of non-pensioned military or naval service on being superannuated from the Civil Departments.

*THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY (Mr. VICTOR CAVENDISH,W.) Derbyshire,

The alteration suggested by the hon. Member could not be effected without legislation, and I do not think that such legislation is called for in the circumstances of the present time.

DR. MACNAMARA

Then if a man has served until he is eligible for an Army or Navy pension and then joins the Civil Service is he for that reason disqualified for the pension earned in the Army or Navy?

*MR. VICTOR CAVENDISH

asked for notice to be given.
