HC Deb 24 March 1919 vol 114 c65W
Mr. THOMAS-STANFORD

asked the Secretary of State for War whether a man who was discharged from the Army in 1913 with a pension and thereupon, at the instance of his county Territorial Force association became a member of Class 1 of he National Reserve, and who, being instructed on 31st August, 1914, to present himself for re-enlistment, was re-enlisted two days later and was discharged disabled in 1914, is entitled to an augmentation of pension calculated on the basis of his further period of service, in view of the fact that the conditions on which he was invited to join the National Reserve contained a clause stating that periods of service rendered by members who are pensioners, if recalled and re-enlistsd on account of imminent national danger, will count towards an increase of pension?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I will consider this point and communicate with my hon. Friend in due course.
