§ Mr. W. J. Brownasked the Firsh Lord of the Admiralty why Mr. Carm Tabone, an established Grade I clerk employed in His Majesty's Dockyard, Malta, with over 26 years' service, was not granted pension or gratuity on being discharged from his employment and interned, for security reasons, in 1940.
Mr. AlexanderThe general provisions of the Superannuation Acts do not qualify a civil servant discharged in such circumstances for the award of any pension or gratuity. I am, however, making further inquiries as to the particular circumstances of this case, and will communicate with the hon. Member.
