HC Deb 22 January 1948 vol 446 c51W
60. Mr. A. R. W. Low

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury on what grounds temporary civil servants who have served an aggregate of seven years in the Armed Forces and in the Civil Service are not granted a gratuity on redundancy; and whether he will authorise the grant to such men of a gratuity based only on the period of service in the Civil Service.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

Under Section 1 of the Superannuation Act, 1946, they are at present eligible for a gratuity under Section 4 of the Superannuation Act, 1887. The amount depends on the total length of service, both military and civil, except that account will not be taken of military service reckoned for the grant of Army, Navy or Air Force non-effective pay.
