§ Colonel SHARMAN-CRAWFORDasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether non-commissioned officers between forty and forty-five, who are liable for foreign service in the event of their rejoining, and who are at present in receipt of the maximum pensions of their rank, will, in the event of disablement, receive in addition the full wound pension or only the extra amount required to bring their existing pension up to such amount?
Mr. BAKERUnder existing regulations the full wounds pension includes service pension, but there is a considerable margin between the two, and previous service and the pension already earned by it would be taken into account in making the award.
