Oral Answers to Questions — Naval and Military Pensions and Grants. – in the House of Commons at on 23 February 1922.
Mr. BELL:
2.asked the Minister of Pensions whether there is any intention on the part of the Government to reduce the present naval pensions?
As it is understood that the hon. Member refers to ordinary naval service pensions for men, I have been asked to reply. There is no intention on the part of the Admiralty to reduce the long service pensions of any men now in receipt of a pension, or of men now in the naval service who may hereafter qualify for a service pension. The question of fixing a lower rate of pension for men entering the Navy in future is now under the consideration of the Admiralty.
