HL Deb 13 July 1972 vol 333 cc466-7WA
LORD WADE

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When it is expected that the Joint Working Party of representatives of the Overseas Services Pensioners' Association and officials of the Overseas Development Administration of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office will report, and whether the report will be published.

THE MARQUESS OF LOTHIAN

The Joint Working Party has not yet completed its task. I understand from my right honourable friend the Minister for Overseas Development that he hopes to receive the report before the end of the summer and that he will make a statement when he has studied it.
