§ 25. Captain CLIVEasked the Secretary of State for War if he will say, with reference to the desire of the Army Council that it should be more widely known that an Army pensioner may, if he wishes, receive his pension by monthly instalments instead of by quarterly payments, whether he may not also receive it, if he wishes, by weekly instalments, seeing that that is the basis on which he has been in the habit of receiving his pay while in the Army and probably also afterwards when in civil employment?
§ Colonel SEELYArrangements can be made for the payment of pensions quarterly, with the consent of the pensioner, to some responsible person for issue to him in weekly sums.
§ Captain CLIVECould not the right hon. Gentleman make it clear by some further 689 communication to the pensioners in addition to what has been done already that a pension can be paid weekly as well as monthly?
§ Colonel SEELYI hope the question put by the hon. and gallant Gentleman and this reply may give that information, but if any further notification is necessary, I will certainly consider whether it should be made.
