HC Deb 11 October 1944 vol 403 c1744
40. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is now in a position to report on the review by West African Governments of disability pensions paid to members of West African forces.

Colonel Stanley

Yes, Sir. This matter has been carefully considered by the West African Governments. The increase of 50 per cent., which has hitherto been payable under the provisions of local legislation in special circumstances, is to be paid in all cases. The awards are now considered adequate.
