§ 6. Colonel LESLIE WILSONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether those non-commissioned officers of the Royal Marines called up to serve during hostilities and those who have completed twenty-one years' service since the 4th August, 1914, who already have earned the maximum pension allowed under paragraph 1198 of the King's Regulations and Admiralty Instructions will, by reason of their additional service, be permitted to exceed the maximum pension of their rank; and, if so, to what extent?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI regret I am not in a position to give my hon. and gallant Friend an answer to this question, which, as he probably knows, has been under discussion between ourselves and other Departments concerned. If he will be so good as to put the question down again early next week, I hope then to give an answer one way or the other.
