HC Deb 01 December 1920 vol 135 cc1261-2W
Major Sir B. FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty by what Order in Council or Regulation pensioned naval officers, when called up for the War, were deprived of their pensions while serving?

Sir J. CRAIG

I regret that I am unable to supplement the information which I gave in reply to a similar question by my hon. and gallant Friend on the 24th ultimo. As he is no doubt aware, an Order in Council is necessary to determine the conditions under which particular emoluments may be paid to naval officers and ratings, and it is unnecessary to refer in such Order in Council to any emolument which has not been paid and which it is not intended to pay in the circumstances referred to in the Order.
