§ 95. Mr. D. Marshallasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that Government officers retired in Malaya are to have an increase in pension in order to meet the high cost of living; and why is no such increase being paid to those pensioners resident in the United Kingdom.
Mr. Creech JonesMalayan pensioners living in this country are paid increases on the basis prescribed in Section I of the Pensions (Increase) Act, 1944. The question of revising the increases for Malayan and other Colonial Government pensioners, in the light of the Pensions80W (Increase) Act, 1947, is under consideration.
