§ Sir T. BRAMSDONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, if a person has been employed in one branch of the Civil Service and is transferred to the Admiralty, the previous service counts towards the service which would be pensionable under the Admiralty?
§ Mr. LONGQuestions in regard to civil superannuation are matters for the Treasury; but so far as the Admiralty are aware, the whole period of continuous service in an established position under the Crown, independently of the department in which a person has served, is taken into account in reckoning the amount payable on retirement by way of pension or gratuity. If the hon. Member1284W has any specific case in view which does not come under the general rule, I shall be happy to have it inquired into.
