Captain FABERasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he is aware that T. Smith, of Crawley, Winchester, has been unable to draw his pension owing to the Post Office officials at Crawley not having received the second advices, the officer paying pensions being attached to the Army pay office, Shrewsbury; and, if so, what steps he will take in the matter?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELIt appears that the original advice and also a duplicate advice have gone astray probably owing to a confusion between Crawley, Winchester, and Crawley in Sussex. A third advice has now been sent by registered post, and T. Smith has been informed accordingly.
