HC Deb 03 May 1950 vol 474 cc1678-9
29. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will recommend the measure of the Government of Mauritius to establish an old age pensions scheme to other Colonial Governments who have not introduced such a measure.

Mr. J. Griffiths

The old age pensions scheme to which my hon. Friend refers is still under discussion by the Government of Mauritius. I will bear in mind the suggestion my hon. Friend has made.

Mr. Rankin

May I congratulate my right hon. Friend and the Government of Mauritius upon what I hope will be the establishment of an old age pensions scheme?
