HC Deb 20 February 1924 vol 169 c1797W
Mr. MIDDLETON

asked the Minister of Pensions whether a decision has yet been arrived at in the case of secretaries of Territorial associations for reassessment of pension under Army Order No. 325 of 1919; and, if so, whether he will state it?

Mr. WALSH

I have been asked to reply. The hon. Member is no doubt aware that the contention of these secretaries that, their pension should be reassessed under Army Order No. 325 of 1919 was submitted to arbitration by agreement. Lord Desart's award, dated 3rd December, 1923, was in favour of the War Office and against the secretaries.
