§ 20. Sir A. HOLBROOKasked the Secretary of State for War why a warrant officer, Class II., in possession of the Military Cross and eligible for the grant of 6d. a day additional pension under Article 1,157 of the Royal Warrant, 1914, as amended by Army Order 45, of 1917, is deprived of the additional pension because the Military Cross was awarded for services rendered as an officer; and whether he will consider a revision of the regulation under which the warrant officer has not only been deprived of his commissioned rank on retirement, but also of the additional pension he would have received if he had not accepted commissioned rank?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI should be glad if my hon. and gallant Friend would give me full particulars of the case he has in mind. I will then give it my consideration.
