Mr. SHINWELL

The information is as follows:

home for the years commencing 1st April, 1918, 1st April, 1919, 1st April, 1920, 1st April, 1921, 1st April, 1922, and 1st April, 1923, were 171, 786, 445, 472, 526 and 221 respectively.

Sir T. BRAMSDON

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the total amount that has been paid to pensioners who have been superannuated from the Royal Dockyards for each year since April, 1918; and will he show, separately, each year's total of additional allowances, pensions, and supplementary pensions?

Mr. AMMON

I have been asked to reply. The records do not readily afford the information asked for, and having regard to the large amount of clerical labour which would be involved in obtaining it, I regret that, in present circumstances, it is not practicable to furnish the desired statistics. I may say, however, that the annual values of the pensions (including supplementary pensions) granted during the past few years to established workmen discharged from the dockyards at home and abroad are approximately as follows:

£
1920–21 23,000
1921–22 34,000
1922–23 25,000
1023–24 17,000
