Lieut.-Colonel SPENDER CLAYasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether his attention has been drawn to cases of hardship to Army pensioners who were attached to officer training corps units and who, owing to the nature of their services, were persuaded not to re-enlist; and whether, on satisfactory proof being produced of their willingness to re-enlist, he will authorise the reassessment of their pensions?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONI am afraid I see no reason for departing in this particular case from the general rule, which is that pension cannot be reassessed if the man was not actually re-enlisted.
