§ 9. Sir COOPER RAWSONasked the Secretary of State for War whether a man who enlisted in the Army in 1906 and whose present engagement terminates in 1932 will be ineligible for pension on discharge owing to the fact that he has only served 16 years in his present unit, although he will have completed 26 years in all with the colours, 17 of which were overseas?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSIf my hon. Friend will send me the details of any case in which he is interested, I will let him know how it stands under the Regulations. An answer given without reference to all the facts of the particular case might prove misleading.
§ Sir C. RAWSONCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether a man who started his service in the Army and finished his service in the Army, is disqualified for a pension by the mere fact that he spent part of his service in the Air Force?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI must have the particular case before me before I can answer that question.
