HC Deb 14 July 1943 vol 391 cc192-3
52. Mr. William Brown

asked the Minister of Supply why Mr. E. W. Russell, O.B.E., Inspector of Fuses, has been refused establishment and denied the right to a pension on retirement, in view of the fact that he has served 53 years in the Inspection Department of the Ministry of Supply, and performed his duties in an efficient and satisfactory manner throughout this period.

The Minister of Supply (Sir Andrew Duncan)

Mr. Russell is not, according to the normal rules, entitled to the grant of a pension, but I am taking his case up with the Treasury.
