My Lord,

With reference to Your Lordship's despatch

No.107 of the 31st March, 1920, on the subject of the inter-

pretation of the Pension Rules as regards gross and net

service for pension, I have the honour to suggest for your

consideration that a pension of less than 25 per cent of an

officer's salary is not likely to afford a bare subsistence

and that, therefore, if an officer has ten years' gross

service he might be granted a pension equal to fifteen-

sixtieths of his salary without regard to the fact that his

net service is less than ten years.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

B.E. Stutts

Governor, &c.

RIGHT HONOURABLE

VISCOUNT MILNER, G.0.B.,
