HC Deb 27 January 1959 vol 598 cc90-1W
Captain Kerby

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of Section 31 of the Colonial Regulations, an officer serving on extended probation, for an indefinite period and without his knowledge, can be summarily dismissed from the service two months after his original contract has expired.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The appointment of an officer serving on probation may be terminated at any time whether or not the original period of his probation has expired.

I have already made it clear that Mr. Hill, to whom I assume this Question refers, was fully aware that he was on probation while his petition to my predecessor against the proposed termination of his appointment was under consideration.

Captain Kerby

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the terms of Mr. Dyke Campbell Hill's contract in respect of his service after 30th October, 1953.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I have nothing to add to the reply I gave to my hon. and gallant Friend on 16th July, 1958.
