§ Mr. PENNEFATHERasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that a brigadier-general, who retired from the Army in 1905 with a pension of £500 a year, was reappointed to a Territorial Division in December, 1914, and on again retiring in November, 1915, was awarded a pension of £300; and, if so, whether he will explain why a second pension of £300 per annum was granted after only eleven months' service?
§ Mr. FORSTERI gather from information which my hon. Friend has supplied that the officer commuted £200 of his retired pay. The £300 is the balance remaining.
