asked the Pensions Minister whether a service pension has been denied to ex-Sergeant G. A. Greenham, late 12th Battalion, Suffolk Regiment, now residing at 3, Trafalgar Terrace, West Cowes, Isle of Wight, who enlisted on 26th February, 1898, served eight years' Colour service, four years' Reserve B, took on another four years in Reserve, Section D, expiring six months prior to the outbreak of war, volunteered in September, 1914, and was discharged in March, 1919, after being in France three years and four months, making a total of twelve and a half years' Colour service and eight years' Reserve (twenty and a half years), and then volunteered to complete eighteen years' Colour service for a modified pension, but was refused as too old?

I am making inquiry in this case, and will write to the hon. Member in due course.
