§ 44. Mr. HAYESasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the fact that nothing in the terms of Section 11 of the Superannuation Act, 1859, precludes the counting for pension of approved additional service, and that periods of approved additional service 232 under the Order in Council, dated 10th January, 1920, Clause 10, have been counted for pension purposes, he will reconsider the question of recognising for pension purposes the extended established service in 1918 of ex-Warders (English prisons) R. Bailey, J. Williams, and the late J. Silvester and Sidney Aggett?
§ Mr. McNEILLI have given further consideration to these cases, but I regret to be unable to depart from the decision previously reached.
§ Mr. HAYESIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that these men were recalled for duty by a Departmental mistake; and as they have, in fact, served as a result of this error, will he not recognise that service for pension purposes?
§ Mr. McNEILLI am aware of all the circumstances of the case. I have carefully considered them, and they have not enabled me to alter the decision already arrived at.
