As my right hon. Friend stated in reply to a question by the hon. Member for East Woolwich on the 12th May last, the possibility of establishing a pension scheme for ordnance factory employés who are at present only eligible for gratuities on discharge has already been under consideration, and is to be further discussed during the coming autumn. As the hon. Member will of course appreciate, the Contributory Pensions Bill now before the House has a considerable bearing on the matter.
