§ Viscount WOLMERasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the hardship caused to officers who became entitled to pensions during the War, but who were held to serve until demobilisation by the non-payment of these pensions; and whether, insomuch as their pensions have been earned by service according to the terms of their engagement, the arrears of these pensions will be paid as it has been to retired officers who re-enlisted under Table XVI., Paragraph 5, of Army Order 324 of 1919, whose cases are exactly similar?
