§ 3. Mr. BAKERasked the Minister of Pensions whether, seeing that Article 557 1,163 of the Royal Warrant of 1914 provides that a permanent pension may be granted to a non-commissioned officer or man discharged on account of a disability provided that he has 14 years' service, he will arrange that men with 14 years' or more service, and who, after discharge, have been accepted as having a disability due to War service, shall be given the same privileges as those who are discharged owing to a disability?
Mr. ROBERTSFor the reasons stated in the answer given to my hon. Friend on the 3rd instant, I regret that I should have no authority to adopt this suggestion.
