§ Mr. Tilneyasked the Minister of Overseas Development what progress he has made in seeking an amelioration of the position of the widows of former overseas service pensioners of Ceylon following the representations that he has been making since November, 1967.
§ Mr. PrenticeThis matter is still outstanding. I am very anxious to get it settled and I spoke to the Prime Minister of Ceylon about it when he was in London for the Commonwealth Prime Minister's Conference. I hope and expect to receive his Government's decision soon.
