HC Deb 10 May 1916 vol 82 c655
32. Sir HENRY CRAIK

asked whether, owing to the cancelling of the rule which required officers elected as Members of Parliament to be placed on the half-pay list and removed from their regimental list, a Member of this House has remained on the list of the 1st Royal Dragoons for eight years without doing any regimental duty, thus blocking promotion for all the officers of the regiment and lowering their prospects of pension?

Mr. TENNANT

I am informed that this is so.

Sir H. CRAIK

Can no remedy be adopted in such a case?

Mr. TENNANT

I only became aware that it was so fifteen minutes ago, therefore I am not able to take the necessary steps. I will see what can be done.
