HC Deb 16 April 1919 vol 114 cc2921-2W
Colonel Sir G. COLLINS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that men who went on active service as life pensioners are now only receiving half-gratuity; and whether he will reconsider the position of these soldiers?

Mr. FORSTER

Army Order 118, published on 14th March last, authorised the payment of the full war gratuity to soldiers who were in receipt of pension whilst serving, and there is now, therefore, no difference between these and other soldiers in respect of war gratuity.
