21. Mr. JOWETT

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it is proposed to inaugurate a pension scheme for Government officials serving in the West African Colonies; and, if so, whether the proposal will embrace both European and native officials?

A system of pensions to Government officials, whether European or native, has been in force in West Africa for many years and was embodied in Ordinances in 1901 and 1902.
