§ 5. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can say if any chief officer of Coastguards, retired in 1912, was given the honorary rank of lieutenant and awarded a pension of less than £60 a year; and whether, seeing that Coastguard officers are now considered to be worthy of the award of lieutenant rank, it is possible to retire them on a pension more in keeping with that rank?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAOne such case has occurred. As regards the second part of the question, I can add nothing to my previous replies on this subject.
