§ Sir B. FALLEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the fact that £36 a year as pension contribution is claimed for Dominion Governments for Imperial naval ratings lent for service in Colonial navies, he will reconsider the scale of gratuities authorised in paragraph 12 of A.F.O. 13/1922 for men invalided whose disability is considered to be not attributable to service, observing that the sum of £36 appears to be the amount set aside for each man for each year's service?
Mr. DAVIDSONThe answer is in the negative and I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to my reply to his question of the 14th December last (OFFICIAL REPORT, column 962).
