§ 12. Lieut.-Colonel Liptonasked the Minister of Supply how many persons employed in his Department were dismissed or asked to resign on security grounds during the past three years; and what payment from public funds was made to the persons concerned on the termination of their employment.
§ Mr. ErrollOne unestablished officer with insufficient service to qualify for a gratuity was dismissed. One established officer resigned on request. He will be eligible for pension and additional allowance on reaching age 60, in accordance with the Superannuation Acts.
§ Lieut.-Colonel LiptonIs the hon. Gentleman satisfied that there has been reasonable financial treatment in the cases to which he has referred, compared with similar cases in other Government Departments?
§ Mr. ErrollThis is a general Question involving the Superannuation Acts, and the hon. and gallant Member's supplementary should, therefore, really be addressed to my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
