§ 69. Mr. ASHLEYasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether the official assurances that in future disablement, allowance will be paid to those discharged from the Service owing to disease aggravated by the Service will apply equally to soldiers discharged from the Army from the same cause?
§ Mr. FORSTERYes, Sir.
§ Mr. RAFFANWill the action of the War Office be retrospective and wilt men who have been discharged receive pensions?
§ Mr FORSTERI am prepared to deal with that in debate later to-day.
§ Mr. RAFFANWill the question be answered then?
§ Mr. FORSTERAs far as I can.
