§ Mr. G. TERRELLasked the Postmaster-General whether J. Cleverley, of Corsham, Wilts, a postman, who was pensioned in January, 1915, owing to ill-health, after twenty-nine years' service, is only in receipt of a pension of 11s. 4d. per week; and whether he can see his way in this and similar cases to increase the pensions to a reasonable sum?
§ Mr. PEASEIn addition to his pension Mr. Cleverley received a. lump sum payment of about £88. The award was the maximum to which his service and emoluments entitled him. Post Office pensioners are in the same position as other retired Civil servants, and I am not in a position to take action in the matter.
