§ 23. Sir B. FALLEasked the Secretary to the Admiralty if men of the lower deck who may have been wounded and have lost a limb or an eye are eligible for wound or disability pensions, but that such are not paid to the men if they are continued in the Service even if such service is by request of the Admiralty; if these pensions are payable to officers who continue serving; if he can explain this difference; and if he will have it remedied?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe statements contained in the question are correct. The matter is one which engaged the attention of Admiral Jerram's Committee, and will be considered by the Board in connection with the Report of that Committee.
