The present Estimate for £7,726 covers the amount which it is anticipated will come in course of payment during the present financial year in respect of pensions, allowances and gratuities under the Army Pensions Act, 1937, and the Connaught Rangers Act, 1936. The amount is made up as follows:— Wound and disability pensions and gratuities under the new Act, £2,948; allowances and gratuities to dependents under the new Act, £2,094; Connaught Rangers pensions and gratuities, £2,684. The part of the Vote which relates to the Connaught Rangers is really a revote. It was included in last year's Estimate but we had not the matter cleared up and we have to renew the provision in the present financial year.
