§ Major M'LEANasked the Secretary of State for War whether, as retired officers employed before an emergency and continued on in the same employment get no war gratuity, whereas retired officers not so employed receive a gratuity, he will consider the case of the very few officers of the remount, record, barrack, and medical services who, although on the retired list, continued in their employment during the War?
§ Mr. FORSTERThis question has been fully considered, and I regret that I am unable to alter the existing rules.
