§ 60. Brigadier-General CROFTasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the findings of the Holt Committee, he can now state that services in the K Company, Royal Engineers, will count for civil pensions?
§ Mr. BALDWIN (Joint Financial Secretary to the Treasury)No, Sir. As explained in answer to previous questions the Treasury are not prepared to accept this recommendation
Brigadier-General-CROFTIs the right ton. Gentleman aware of the fact that these men were specially urged to undertake service by the Post Office, and under these circumstances will he reconsider the case?
§ Mr. BALDWINI am familiar with the case to which the hon. and gallant Member refers, and I have had it frequently under review, and it might be of interest to him, if he would not mind the trouble, to look at the Debate on the 12th June last year, the last occasion on which this subject was raised in this House, and see what passed between me and Mr. Holt, who was the Chairman of the Committee.
