§ Lieut.-Colonel CROFTasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the War Office whether warrant officers, Class 2, are eligible for the same pension rights as warrant officers, Class 1; whether when warrant officers, Class 2, die their wives are provided for as is the case with 1971W other warrant officers; and, if not, whether he will take steps to place both classes of warrant officers in the same position?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONThe answer to all three parts of the question is in the negative. The two classes are different, and I regret I cannot give to a particular grade in the Army the pension rights attaching to a grade higher.
