§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the low pensions payable to long-service pensioners in his Department, the War Office would be prepared to consider a scheme based on the principles which govern the marriage allowance whereby an additional sum could be granted in respect of each child of the pensioner?
§ Captain KINGI regret that I cannot entertain this proposal for increasing the scale of service pensions.
