62. Sir RENNELL ROODasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the proposed application of the Superannuation Acts, 1834 to 1919, to persons in the Diplomatic Service as they apply to other persons in the permanent Civil Service of the State will entail the retirement of the former at the age of 65 instead of, as heretofore, at 70?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONThe power to continue to employ members of the Service after they have reached the age of 65 will not be affected by the Bill now under consideration.
