§ CAPTAIN CRAIG (Down, E.)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the desire expressed among many Army pensioners in Ireland during the present distress to have their pensions paid weekly instead of quarterly; and whether any arrangements have been made to carry out a scheme on such lines.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The War Office has received no recent applications to this effect from Ireland. As regards the last part of the Question, I have nothing at present to add to the information I gave to the House in reply to a Question put by the Member for the Isle of Wight division of Hampshire on 14th October.
