HC Deb 27 October 1911 vol 30 c498W
Mr. CROOKS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, seeing that the immediate cost to the State would be almost infinitesimal, he will grant to all those men employed in the various Government Departments who hold the certificate of the Civil Service Commissioners the whole of their unestablished service to count in full for pension purposes?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I regret I am unable to adopt the suggestion of the hon. Member, the ultimate cost of which would probably be considerable.
