§ Mr. MARRIOTTasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether the Treasury have refused to reckon for pension purposes the War service of civil servants who had retired before the War and have since been re-employed in a temporary civil capacity; and, if so, on what grounds?
Mr. YOUNGThere is no power to reckon temporary service for pension except under the provisions of Section 3 of the Superannuation Act of 1887, which requires that it should have been followed by established service; in the cases in question, that condition was not complied with.
