§ 29. Mr. Tilneyasked the Minister of Overseas Development what arrangements he will now make regarding pensions payable to former members of Her Majesty's Overseas Civil Service or of the old Colonial Service in Rhodesia.
§ Mr. OramSecurity Council Resolution No. 253 expressly permits the payment of such pensions. I do not envisage that the closing of Rhodesia House or withdrawal of our Residual Mission in Salisbury will affect the payment of overseas pensions in Rhodesia.
§ Mr. TilneyIs the Minister aware that that statement will be received with joy by some of the pensioners who cannot possibly leave Rhodesia, even if they want to, because they cannot sell their houses?
