HC Deb 26 June 1919 vol 117 cc364-5W
Mr. CROOKS

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he can now state the result of the inquiry into the question of superannuation of ex-soldier clerks employed in the War Office; whether he is aware that some of these men are now being discharged on reaching the age limit of sixty-five years; and whether, in the event of superannuation being granted, the men who have been, discharged in the meantime will be allowed to participate?

Mr. FORSTER

In reply to the first part of the question, I must refer my right hon. Friend to the answer given by my hon. Friend the Financial Secretary to the Treasury to a question by the hon. and gallant Member for Marylebone on the 5th May last. As to the rest of the question, I must refer to the answer I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Clackmannan on the 13th of last month. To these I have nothing to add. I will send my right hon. Friend copies of the replies referred to.
