§ 71. Mr. McENTEEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer seeing that additional payment is being made to civil servants employed overseas to meet the depreciation in the pound sterling, if he will take similar action for persons in receipt of war pensions, retired pay, and civil pensions who are living in the Colonies or Dominions?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINNo, Sir. I do not agree that such adjustments as are required in the current remuneration of Crown servants stationed abroad for the discharge of public duties afford a ground for the modification of these or other sterling obligations.
