§ 103. Sir F. Medlicottasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will now further review the case of Mr. Allen C. Westgate, of Cringleford, Norfolk, who served as a crop reporter under his Department for 50 years but failed to qualify for a gratuity through his services coming to an end only two weeks before the operation of the Superannuation Act, 1949.
§ Mr. GodberI have reviewed this case very carefully but I regret that the provisions of the Superannuation Act, 1949, do not permit a gratuity to be paid to Mr. Westgate.
