asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are the exact steps which have been taken to carry out the judgment in Sutton v. Attorney-General which related to men serving in the Royal Engineers; whether it is proposed to apply the principles of the judgment to men who served in other units of His Majesty's Forces; if no decision has yet been reached on the latter point; and when can an announcement be expected?

With regard to the first part of the question, I understand that payment has been made to Mr. Sutton in accordance with the judgment. With regard to the latter parts of the question, I am not yet able to add anything to the reply given on the 21st March last to the hon. Member for Central Edinburgh (Mr. W. Graham).
