HC Deb 26 February 1912 vol 34 cc1130-1W
Mr. ALDEN

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, with reference to the statement of the promoted Civil Service writers in the Statistical Department of His Majesty's Customs and Excise presented in December last, showing the various reasons why the other half of their un-established service should count for pension purposes, and also in reference to a letter addressed to the same source in: January last asking to be informed as to what steps had been taken by the Treasury in the matter, seeing that the Superannuation Act of 1887 invests them with full power to grant the other half of this unestablished service, as has been done in the case of the Customs boatmen, whether the Treasury are now in a position to make a statement in regard thereto?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I fear I can add nothing to the answer which my predecessor gave to the hon. Member on 21st November last.
