HC Deb 11 June 1936 vol 313 c497

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."

9.18 p.m.

Mr. BATEY

Will the right hon. Gentleman kindly explain what it is that this Clause does?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

This Clause is intended to deal with the Egyptian-Anglo-Sudan position, which I thought I had explained clearly. It is to allow a Sudan Civil servant to draw a pension as Governor of a Colony, treating him as if he had been a Colonial Civil servant; and, vice versa, if a Colonial Civil servant becomes Governor-General in the Sudan, he can get a pension.
