§ *MR. WATTI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the fact that, where a veteran is in receipt of a pension on account of twenty-one years service served subsequent to the Indian Mutiny, and afterwards on attaining seventy years of ago becomes entitled to the extra 1s. a day on account of the Indian Mutiny service, it is the habit, instead of adding the two pensions together, to make a deduction from the above mentioned 1s., to the loss of the soldier; and whether he will remedy this in the cases now existing.
§ MR. HALDANEAn Indian Mutiny veteran or other soldier who has served in a campaign and is already in receipt of a pension docs not get an extra 1s. a day on attaining the age of seventy, but may be granted an increase up to 1s. if his pension previously was less.
§ *MR. WATTCan the right hon. Gentleman give any particular reason why a man in these circumstances should Jose this 1s.?
§ MR. HALDANEasked for notice of a Question with reference to a particular case.
