§ Mr. RUPERT GUINNESSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if when a Royal Engineer permanently enters the Post Office service any previous service he may have had in the Post Office counts towards his civil pension; if not, what are the grounds for this practice; and whether he will again consider the desir- 1884W ability of altering it, as recommended by the Secretary for War and the Postmaster-General?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEUnder the Superannuation Acts service with the Colours cannot be reckoned for civil pension. I regret to be unable to propose any alteration of the law in this respect.
