HC Deb 17 March 1910 vol 15 cc512-3
Mr. WATT

asked the Prime Minister whether the retiring President of the Divorce, Probate, and Admiralty Court was, by his length of service, entitled to a pension?

The PRIME MINISTER

I understand that the pension in question was granted upon a medical certificate.

Mr. WATT

Are we to take it as a precedent that judges who retire before having served the necessary time will receive pensions?

The PRIME MINISTER

A judge is entitled to his pension when he has served fifteen years, and he is entitled to it also if he is disabled by infirmity before he has served the fifteen years.
