§ Mr. SNOWDEN (Blackburn)To ask the Secretary to the Treasury if, seeing that senior assistant clerks are only allowed to count one-half of their un-established service towards superanuation, and as the present plan of stating in the estimates the service ranking for pension only is misleading, he will in future, until such time as this class are allowed to count their full service, introduce into the estimates a column showing the years of unestablished as well as the established service of clerks awarded pensions.
§ (Answered by Mr. McKenna.) The suggestion put forward by the hon. Member has been carefully considered, but the conclusion has been come to that it would not be expedient to insert in the estimates any particulars of service other than those upon which the award of pension is based.
