HC Deb 26 May 1919 vol 116 cc843-4W
Major CAYZER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether an Order has been issued granting an increase of 25 per cent. on future Civil Service pensions; whether this is applicable to pensions granted previous to the date of this award; and, if not, whether, having in view the increased cost of living arising out of the War, the Government intends to make any increase at all in the scale existing previous to the new award?

Mr. BALDWIN

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the statement made by my right hon. Friend on the 16th ultimo in reply to the hon. Member for Devonport.
