§ MR. JOHN ROCHE (Galway, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether an inspector under the Board of Works, named Edward Lynam, was superannuated in December last; and whether the pension allowed him was much less than he was entitled to after a service of twenty-five years, and, if so, will he recommend that the proper amount shall be given.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HOBHOUSE,) Bristol, E.The case referred to in the Question is one which fell within the provisions of Section 9 of the Superannuation Act, 1859, and the deduction (which the Treasury is unable to reconsider) was made by the Treasury under the powers conferred upon them by that section.
