HC Deb 26 November 1919 vol 121 c1777
22. Sir B. FALLE

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if all pensioners who were under fifty-five years of age in August, 1914, and who were serving with the Royal Australian or Royal New Zealand Navy are eligible for the increased pension, and if all such pensioners who were over fifty-five in August, 1914, but who nevertheless volunteered and whose services were accepted, will receive the increase?

Dr. MACNAMARA

All long-service pensioners who have served in the naval forces referred to during the War are eligible, irrespective of age, for a reassessment of their pensions on the increased scales. If my hon. Friend has any case in mind in putting the last two lines of his question, I will gladly look into it.
