§ Sir F. YOUNGasked the Secretary of State for War whether a soldier released by Army Orders for munition work, and who subsequently went back to the Army and received Army pay, is entitled to pension rights for disabilities connected with or arising from his service in munition work?
§ Sir J. CRAIGThe hon. Member presumably refers to a soldier released from the Colours under Army Order 205 of 1915. If that is the case, the answer to his question is in the affirmative, but any compensation awarded to the man under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1906, would be taken into account in assessing pension. If, however, the soldier was transferred to Class W of the Army Reserve, the answer is in the negative.
