§ 67. Mr. Tilneyasked the Lord Privy Seal whether the Government of Somaliland have granted increases of pension to ex-Colonial Civil Servants; and how these pensions now compare with those of the Home Civil Service, under the provisions of the United Kingdom Pensions (Increase) Act, 1959.
§ Mr. P. ThomasThe Government of the Somali Republic have agreed to make pension increases amounting to about £3,200 per annum, which will bring the pensions into line with the United Kingdom Pensions (Increase) Act, 1959. I understand the increases in individual pensions are at present being calculated and that payment will be effected early in the New Year dating from 1st April, 1961.
