HC Deb 30 November 1967 vol 755 c150W
39. Mr. Tilney

asked the Minister of Overseas Development whether he will initiate discussions with developing countries of the Commonwealth, with a view to Great Britain taking over the pensions of ex-members of Her Majesty's Overseas Civil Service in return for a reduction in aid.

Mr. Oram

No. The responsibilities of Commonwealth Governments for the payment of these pensions and the functions of Her Majesty's Government in granting aid are separate matters.
