PENSIONS FOR GOVERNORS
British Official Wireless.
BUGBY, 2nd March,
In the House of Commons, Mr. W. H. Ormsby-Gore, Under-Secretary for the Dominions, moved the second reading of the Bill providing foV the extension of Civil Service pensions to Governors of Mandated Territories. Ho said that there had come into association with the British Empire this new form of dependaney for which Governors had to be provided and, unless there was a change in the statute, it would not be possible to pay the same pension to the Governor of a mandated terrritory' as was paid to the Governors of colonies and protectorates. A small committee had been set up to go into what was necessary to do justice to the Governors of mandated territories, and they had presented a report. The Bill in the main gave effect to the recommendation of that committee.
Mr. J. A. Thomas, who was Colonial Secretary in the Labour Government, supported the Bill, saying-that it remedied a grievance and was long overdue. The Bill was read a second time without- division.
