HC Deb 26 April 1920 vol 128 c831
45. Mr. LEONARD LYLE

asked the Prime Minister whether, to encourage the members of the Royal Irish Constabulary, he will reconsider the scale of pre-War pensions granted to ex-members of the force, many of whom are now in a state of semi-starvation?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The case of pre-War pensioners of the Royal Irish Constabulary is being considered along with the case of other classes of pre-War pensioners by the Cabinet Committee.

Sir E. CARSON

Could the right hon. Gentleman say when we are likely to receive the decision upon this matter, which has been going on for many months and causing great disappointment?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I said in reply to the question last week that I hoped to be able to give an answer on Monday next.
