HC Deb 28 September 1915 vol 74 cc714-5
21. Mr. G. TERRELL

asked the amount at present being paid in pensions to officers who are re-employed in the Army who are also in receipt of full pay and allowances for the duties which they now perform?

Mr. TENNANT

To give this figure would involve a very considerable amount of research and clerical labour which I should not feel justified in casting upon the Department.

46. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government proposes to give the House an opportunity of discussing the Third Special Report from the Select Committee on Naval and Military Services (Pensions and Grants); and, if so, can he.give a date?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)

As I said on Thursday, I do not think there is any need to provide a special opportunity. The hon. Member can avail himself of opportunities that occur.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Do I understand that the Government have accepted the Report?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir, nothing is to be understood from my answer but what I have said.
