§ Mr. HUNTasked whether a lieutenant-general on the Army Council would lose over £1,800 a year if he resigned as a result of not agreeing with the policy of the Council?
§ Colonel SEELYOn the assumption that the officer in question went to half-pay, he would lose £1,850 a year.
§ Mr. HUNTIs not this exposing a soldier to the same temptation as a politician—to hold on to his position against his judgment. Is it quite fair to ask such an officer to give an unbiassed judgment under such circumstances?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat is a point the hon. Member must decide for himself.
