§ CAPTAIN J. CRAIG (Down, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty what is the number of naval pensioners in receipt of pensions under 2s a day who, as regards conduct and other qualifications, are duly eligible for but are denied the Greenwich Hospital age pension.
§ * MR. GEORGE LAMBERTThe precise number could not be ascertained without the expenditure of much labour and time.
§ CAPTAIN J. CRAIGAre there thousands of such cases?
§ * MR. GEORGE LAMBERTI cannot give the information with any degree of accuracy.
§ CAPTAIN J. CRAIGCannot the hon. Gentleman give an approximate number?
§ * MR. GEORGE LAMBERTNo; I am afraid it would be pure guesswork.
