Mr. ALFRED DAVIES (Clitheroe)asked the Postmaster-General whether the Cabinet has decided that pensions earned during the late War should in no case be used to lower the wages of a Civil servant; whether Mr. J. J. Conway, of the Leicester Post Office, has received a pension in consideration of his services in the late War, and that this pension is paid as an addition to his 2203W old pension; and whether, seeing that his starting pay was fixed having regard to his old pension, there is any reason why the new pension earned during the late War should be withheld from Mr. Conway in contravention of the general Government decision, and contrary to the practice in the case of all Civil servants who have served with the Forces?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHI will make inquiries, and write to the hon. Member.
