Sir A. SHIRLEY BENIN:

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if a Royal Naval Reserve sailor who completed his time in the coastguard in October, 1914, thus qualifying for a pension, but was mobilised on the outbreak of war and served on mine-sweepers and trawlers until August, 1919, being awarded the D.S.M. and long-service medal, is entitled to have his pension of £12 per annum, now given to him as from October, 1914, re-assessed so that it may be made equal to the pensions granted to active-service ratings and pensioners who served under similar conditions?
