HC Deb 27 November 1967 vol 755 cc12-3W
64. Sir C. Mott-Radclyffe

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many former employees of the Federal Government and the Colonial Government in Aden have received notices of dismissal; how long notice of such dismissal has been given; and what terms of compensation have been offered.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

Eighty-four pensionable British and other expatriate officers have been required to retire. Notice to officers who had not previously elected to retire was given at the beginning of this month. Compensation and terminal benefits payable will include pay for at least six months leave as well as disturbance grants or additional allowances.

Sixty British officers on contract have had their contracts terminated and will receive their terminal benefits under the terms of their contracts.
