§ 16. Colonel ASHLEYasked the Secretary for War whether he will favourably consider the question of extending the benefits of the revised rates of service pension laid down in Army Order 325, of 1910, to service pensioners who, through disablement incurred during the War, have been prevented from completing full time for pension, in view of the fact that very considerable hardship and loss is inflicted on the men invalided from the service with only a few months or days short of the required period of 21 years?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONAs I stated yesterday this point is at present under consideration by an Inter-Departmental Committee.
