HC Deb 13 May 1919 vol 115 cc1424-5
43. Major GLYN

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he will consider the advisability of appointing a Committee as soon as possible to consider the question of the conditions and scales of pension at present awarded to serving officers of the Regular Army on their retirement; and whether the existing scales are inadequate in view of the increased cost of living?

Mr. FORSTER

These matters are already under consideration.

Colonel YATE

When will that consideration be completed?

Mr. FORSTER

I am afraid I cannot name a definite date. My hon. and gallant Friend must realise it is an elaborate and complicated process.
