HC Deb 04 March 1919 vol 113 cc219-20
64. Colonel ASHLEY

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, in view of the fact that no deduction is made from the monthly increments of the special war gratuity in the case of a sailor who has drawn both pay and pension, he will extend a like concession to soldiers who have drawn both pay and pension during the War?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The decision to give a smaller increment in these cases applied to Navy and Army alike, and the revised decision to give the full increment also applies to both.
