3. Lady Grantasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations whether pensions paid from Indian revenues are to be increased along the lines of the Pensions (Increases) Act, 1947.
§ Mr. Gordon-WalkerThe application of the Pensions (Increase) Act, 1947, to pensions paid from Indian revenues is a matter for the decision of the Government of India, and they have declined to extend the benefits of the Act to their civil pensioners. They have, however, agreed that increases on the lines of this Act should be granted to pensioners of the Indian Army, Indian Medical Service and the Royal Indian Navy who are residing in the United Kingdom.
