§ Mr. RAPERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in the revision of pensions granted to retired Civil servants since 1915, he will take into consideration the claims of those whose pensions were awarded before that date?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe principle of the arrangement recently agreed to is that within certain limits war bonus shall reckon for pension, and I am not prepared to extend it to pensioners who were not in receipt of war bonus at the time of their retirement.
