§ MR. WATT (Glasgow, College)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether every Indian Mutiny veteran over seventy years of age and in possession of the medal is in receipt of 1s. a day in respect of that service.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) Every Indian Mutiny veteran who is over seventy years of age and has been awarded the medal is eligible for a pension of 1s. a day, provided that he is in necessitous circumstances and was not discharged for ignominy or as a worthless and incorrigible character. It is just possible that there may be a few men who are eligible and have not made any application for the pension.
