§ 75. Major ARCHER-SHEEasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Major T. B. Sellar, late King's Own Scottish Borderers, who retired in May, 1913, with the rank of major, was only granted a pension of £200 a year, although the rate of retired pay for majors when this officer joined the Service was £300 a year; and whether, in view of the fact that the retrospective action of recent amendments of the Royal Warrant has been cancelled by Army Order 38 of 1913, he will now appoint a Committee to consider the cases of injustice caused by the alteration of the Warrant in 1909, under which the pensions of officers were reduced from £300 to £200 a year whilst they were serving?
Mr. BAKERI am reconsidering this case, but I must not be taken to admit the suggestion made in the last part of the question.
