§ MR. WILLIAM KESWICK (Surrey, Epsom)To ask the Under-Secretary of 539 State for the Colonies whether the officers of the South African Constabulary, serving in the Orange River Colony, would be entitled to pensions upon the reduction or disbandment of the force; and, if not, what special measures are contemplated for compensating there officers for the loss of their employment, should the force be disbanded upon the grant of self-government to the Colony.
(Answered by Mr. Churchill.) The terms of appointment of the officers of the South African Constabulary are not such as to entitle them to expect a pension in the contingency suggested.
