HC Deb 06 December 1920 vol 135 c1740W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is the intention of the Government that officers who were disabled in the South African War, and so through no fault of their own were unable to give satisfactory service in the late War, should be debarred from the new scale of pensions?

Major TRYON

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply. By a Royal Warrant dated the 19th December, 1919, of which I am sending my noble and gallant Friend a copy, officers disabled directly by service in former wars are eligible for the rates of disability retired pay laid down in Warrants for the Great War, so far as applicable.
