§ Sir J. BUTCHERasked the Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been called to the fact that officers of the Indian Army who had retired on pension prior to the War and were re-employed receive, in addition to their pension, the full pay of the appointment they held when last employed, whereas officers who had not retired on pension prior to the War were ordered to continue serving after the time when they were entitled to retire on pension and receive no pension, and often receive less pay than in their last employment; and whether he will see that this anomaly is rectified?
§ Mr. MONTAGUThere is no such anomaly as is suggested. A re-employed retired officer of the Indian Army receives the pay of the appointment he holds, not of the appointment he held before retirement.
