§ Mr. Juddasked the Minister of Overseas Development what is the total annual value of contributions by former British colonies and dependencies to the pensions of British officers for that part of their service before independence of the territories concerned; and what proportion of this total goes towards the pensions of officers who terminated their service or negotiated new contracts in any particular territory at the time of independence.
§ Mr. OramI regret the information is not available. The pensions of the officers concerned are the responsibility of the oversea countries who hold the relevant records.
