HC Deb 29 November 1922 vol 159 cc725-6W
Mr. A. HERBERT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what has been the pension and the War bonus paid to Consuls-General who retired before 1917?

Mr. BALDWIN

A Consul-General who retired before 1917 would be entitled to superannuation under the Superannuation Acts, 1834 to 1914, based on his salary (i.e., in most cases on a salary of £900, £1,000 or £1,200) and on his years of service. He would not be entitled to any supplementary pension.
