§ Sir SAMUEL SCOTTasked the Secretary for War if he can state the percentage of regimental quartermasters and riding masters of the Regular Army compulsorily retired owing to age who are in receipt of the maximum pension of £250 a year?
Captain GUESTThe Royal Warrant which extended the rate of retired pay to £250 did not make it possible for that maximum rate to be given till 31st August, 1916; and since that date sixteen quartermasters and riding masters have retired for age, of whom three were granted £250 a year.
