HC Deb 28 November 1917 vol 99 cc2047-8W
Mr. CROOKS

asked the Secretary to the Treasury why, in administering Section 3 of the Superannuation Act, 1887, the general practice of the Treasury to count for pension as much of temporary service as is similar to the established service following is not followed in the case of those men in the Customs Statistical Office, whose temporary service was precisely similar to the established service following, as witnessed by the Secretary to the Board of Customs in his Report to the Ridley Royal Commission, 10th September, 1888, in which it was stated that, as regards those writers employed in the Statistical Department, there is no difference between the work performed by them and that done by the lower division clerks?

Mr. BALDWIN

I have nothing to, add to the previous answers which I have given to the right hon. Member on this subject.
