HC Deb 17 May 1944 vol 400 cc189-90W
Mr. W. J. Brown

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will draw the attention of Colonial Governments to the decision of this House to increase the pensions of retired State servants who have served under the Home Government and take steps to secure that Colonial Governments follow suit in respect of retired Colonial civil servants.

Colonel Stanley

I am communicating with Colonial Governments concerning this matter, but I am not yet in a position to make a statement.
