§ 60. Sir M. DOCKRELLasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that ex-Sergeant John Webb, Royal Irish Constabulary, was retired in January, 1921, from the Royal Irish Constabulary Force, needing only 3½ months to complete the period of 30 years entitling him to a pension of two-thirds of his pay; is he aware that any physical failure to complete this short further period of service was not owing to anything done or left undone by Webb, but was solely due to his long and arduous service; and will he arrange that his pension shall be computed upon 30 years' service?
§ Mr. HENRYI would refer the hon. Member to my reply to his question of the 21st March last to which I can add nothing. I regret that I have no power to make the arrangement suggested by my hon. Friend.
§ Sir M. DOCKRELLDoes not the right hon. Gentleman think that the present time is quite inopportune for any case of hardship like this to be inflicted on the Royal Irish Constabulary?
