HC Deb 19 February 1920 vol 125 c1092W
Lieut.-Colonel JAMES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Sirdar and Governor-General of the Soudan has received a number of petitions from ex-members of the Sudan civil service asking that their pensions might be increased; and, if so, whether the form of these petitions has been laid before him; and whether he is prepared to recommend that favourable consideration should be given to any cases which prove genuine hardship?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

The reply to the first part of the hon. and gallant Member's question is in the negative, and consequently the second and third parts do not arise.
