HC Deb 25 February 1948 vol 447 c1934
30. Mr. T. Reid

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies from what funds pensions of the Palestine Government officials will be met after the termination of the Mandate.

The Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies (Mr. Rees-Williams)

I hope that it will be possible within a few days to make an announcement which will cover the question of payment of the pensions of Palestine Government officials after the termination of the Mandate.

Mr. Hector Hughes

Can my hon. Friend say what provision is being made for giving compensation in the case of those officials who are prematurely retired through no fault of their own?

Mr. Rees-Williams

All that will be dealt with in the statement.
