COMPENSATION PLAN
DISPLACED BRITONS INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE (11 a.m.) LONDON, April 30. The Governments of Britain, India and of the Indian provinces have agreed on a system of compensation for British officers of the Indian Civil Service whose positions would be affected by the transfer of power, said the Prime Minister, Mr. C. R. Attlee, in the House of Commons today. He added that the Indian Governments hoped to retain the services of experienced officers on the same terms as at present. The Indian Governments had also agreed to pay compensation for loss of careers and prospects to any Indian civil servant not invited to remain in office, but they expected most Indians out .of patriotism to continue their work. Reuter’s Agency says the proposals affect 1350 British civil officers and 2570 defence personnel.
