§ 113. Sir W. Smithersasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what arrangements are being made to employ or compensate about 40 English judges whose services are no longer required in India and Pakistan.
§ Mr. A. HendersonI have been asked to reply. I have no reason to suppose that the Governments of India and Pakistan are dispensing with the services of European Judges of the High Courts. The question of providing further employment for them, therefore, does not at present arise, but if and when it does, it will be open to them to make use of the special machinery set up to assist ex-officers of the Secretary of State's Services to secure further employment. My right hon. Friend is considering whether the question of compensation to any European Judges who may resign in consequence of changed conditions should not be re-opened.
