Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am ar 6 Rhagfyr 1926.
No, Sir, I thick not. What the hon. Gentleman asked was whether I would take steps to see that ex-ranker officers receiving the same pension as ex-non-commissioned officers would be accorded equal treatment in the matter of out-of-work donation. My answer to that is that officers, whether ex-ranker or otherwise, were not entitled to out-of-work donation. The whole scheme came to an end in 1922, and did not apply to officers.
