HC Deb 05 March 1928 vol 214 cc809-10
44. Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any pension is payable either to a civil servant who has been dismissed from the Service or to a civil servant who has been allowed to resign in consequence of an adverse report?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Arthur Michael Samuel)

No, Sir.

Captain CROOKSHANK

May I ask what is the difference between these two punishments?

Mr. SAMUEL

If my hon. and gallant Friend will define more closely exactly what he wants me to answer, I will make inquiries and let him know.

Mr. AMMON

Is it not the fact that resignation is a form which conserves pension rights?

Mr. SAMUEL

I do not know whether it is applicable to this particular case.
