§ VISCOUNT BOYD OF MERTONasked:
Whether it is intended to make the services of the Overseas Services Resettlement Bureau more readily available and, if so, whether this includes officers from the former Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland.
§ LORD CHESHAMYes, my Lords. The Bureau will in future accept all officers recruited in the United Kingdom for service on pensionable terms or long-term contract with dependent Governments who lose their offices as a result of a constitutional change. This includes Federal officers provided that they were initially recruited in the United Kingdom.
House adjourned at twenty-seven minutes before nine o'clock.
