§ Mr. Bellengerasked the Secretary of State for War what is the retired pay of a captain who was promoted to permanent combatant commission from the ranks in the Regular Army during the Great War?
§ Mr. Hore-Belisha:A captain so promoted, if eligible for retired pay, would now be drawing a minimum rate of £136 a year. Higher rates were earned in some cases by captains so promoted, by reason of length of service.
