6. Mr. DOYLEasked the Pensions Minister whether, in view of the assurance given in the House that South Africans enlisting in British units would have their pensions supplemented so as to bring them up to South African rates, he will consider 1437 the case of Mr. A. H. Bulteel, who landed in England on the 9th December, 1914, enlisted in the 24th Royal Fusiliers on the 21st December, 1914, and was discharged on the 13th March, 1918, with 60 per cent, pension, and whose claim for increase has been refused by the South African Records Office?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSMr. Bulteel is receiving the full amount of pension to which he is entitled under the Royal Warrant, and the question of supplementation can only be dealt with by the South African Government. From inquiry I have made I find that his application for a supplementary grant cannot be traced in the South African Records Office in Victoria Street, and I am informed that if a fresh application is made to that office, they will be glad to consider it.
