THIRTY-FIVE YEARS' SERVICE.
When introducing this bill the Prime Minister stated that the bill had been hurriedly drafted but the Government would give consideration to any recommendations the Parliamentary Committee might make. One of the glaring injustices in the bill is the drastic treatment meted out to employees who hare already retired after 35 years' service with the consent of the Minister. The bill appears to assume that these members did not comply with the law as regards length of service, and provides that the retiring allowance shall he on a purely actuarial basis. These members did comply with the law, and, having served only 35 years, received a proportionately less allowance. To single these out now for special adverse treatment would be most unfair, and it is hoped the matter will be put right before the bill becomes law. FAIR PLAY.
