§ Sir R. GOWERasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury for what reason only 75 per cent. of the bonus part of the wages of industrial Civil Servants is taken into account for the purpose of calculating pension?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAThe full amount of the bonus part of wages is taken into account for the purpose of calculating annual pensions. The limitation referred to is confined to the calculation of the additional allowance, which is a lump sum, and other lump sum awards. Industrial employés are treated in this respect on the same basis as Civil Servants generally. The method of computing bonus for awards of pension, etc., is prescribed by the Treasury Minute of 20th March, 1922, of which I am sending my hon. Friend a copy.
