HC Deb 05 March 1918 vol 103 cc1817-8
25. Colonel BURN

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will con- sider the case of officers on retired pay who are employed as Army Special Staff Officers, Censor's Department, etc., with a view to putting them on equal terms as regards pay and allowances with those officers not drawing any pension who perform the same duties and whose pay and allowances have been increased under a recent warant?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I am afraid I cannot adopt my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion. The Warrant represents the decision of the War Cabinet arrived at after full consideration.
