GOVERNORS’ PENSIONS
CIVIL SERVICE EXTENSION A GRIEVANCE REMEDIED British Official Wireless RUGBY, Saturday. In the House of Commons. Mr. W. A. Ormsby Gore, Under- Secretary for the Colonies, moved the second reading of the bill providing for the extension of civil service pensions to Governors of mandated territories. Mr. Ormsby-Gore said there had come into association with the Empire this new form of dependency, 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 a Governor of a mandated territory as was paid to Governors of colonies and protectorates. A small committee had been set up to find what was necessary to do justice to Governors of mandated territories, and they had presented a report. The bill in the main gave effect to the recommendation of that committee. Air. J. H. Thomas, who was Colonial Secretary in the Labour Government, supported the bill, saying it remedied a grievance and was long overdue. The bill was read a second time without a division.
