HC Deb 18 April 1923 vol 162 cc2077-8W
Mr. F. ROBERTS

asked the Financial secretary to the Admiralty whether any alteration has been recently made in the basic scale of pension due to officers and men of the coastguard service; and, if so, the nature of such alteration and the date when brought into operation?

Commander EYRES-MONSELL

There has been no recent alteration in the basic scale of retired pay and pension to officers and men of the late Coast Guard Service. They have recently been discharged with the retired pay or pension earned by their service and compensation for the curtailment of their naval careers.
