HC Deb 07 May 1912 vol 38 c209
Mr. HUNT

asked what is the pay of the members of the Army Council; and what would be the pay of a member of that Council if he were to resign and be placed on the half-pay of his rank?

Colonel SEELY

Members of the Army Council are paid according to rank, and there is no special rate of pay or half-pay for a member of the Army Council as such.

Mr. HUNT

Are we to understand that if one of the Army Council retires he gets no pension?

Colonel SEELY

That is rather a personal question. I am a member of the Army Council, and if I were to retire I should obviously get no pension.

Mr. HUNT

The right hon. Gentleman would get his Parliamentary pay.
