§ Colonel YATEasked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, considering the effect upon officers who have been retired on pension owing to sickness or disability contracted on service by the deduction of 10 per cent. from the pay of any civil employment they may afterwards obtain in any public Department under Section 6 of the Superannuation Act of 1887, he will now take steps to obtain the necessary powers to amend the Act so as to remove this injustice and to place these officers on the same footing as the men in this respect?
§ Mr. BALDWINProposals will be laid before Parliament to enable this concession to be made.
