HC Deb 25 February 1958 vol 583 cc26-7W
64 and 65. Mr. Balfour

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies (1) what arrangements have been made to establish a resettlement bureau or to assist the re-employment in any other way of those officers of the western and eastern regions of Nigeria, who are retiring under the arrangements effective on self-government;

(2) what plans exist for assisting those officers of the western and eastern regions of Nigeria, who are retiring, in the same way as Malayan officers, who are retiring, are being assisted.

Mr. Profumo

The conditions under which officers in Western and Eastern Nigeria may elect to retire are dissimilar from those affecting retirement in Malaya and no special arrangements have been made to assist them, but the possibility of an extension of the functions of the Malayan Services Resettlement Bureau to cover officers from other territories is at present under consideration.
