HC Deb 09 July 1968 vol 768 cc48-9W
65 and 66. Mr. James Davidson

asked the Minister of Overseas Development (1) if he will list the sums paid since 1957 by each Commonwealth country in the form of pensions or compensation to former employees of the Colonial Office or Commonwealth Relations Office;

(2) which Commonwealth countries pay pensions, or have paid compensation, to former employees of the British Colonial Office or Commonwealth Relations Office.

Mr. Oram

Very few of the persons who receive pensions and have received compensation from overseas Commonwealth countries were former employees of the Colonial Office or Commonwealth Relations Office and separate information relating to these persons is not available.

I will write to the hon. Gentleman giving him such information as I can relating to pensions and compensation paid by overseas Commonwealth countries to former members of Her Majesty's Oversea Civil Service and comparable services.
