(This has been delayed, in the first place
owing to the changes in the department, Mr.Paskin
having found it impossible to cope with this in
addition to his other work and, in the second
place, owing to certain Straits papers which
were wanted for comparison, being in circulation.)
I have discussed with Mr. A.J.Harding
and I think the following embodies his views.
This draft Bill includes a number of
disconnected amendments to the Widows 'and Orphans'
Pension Ordinance. The chief are:-
(1) Officers included in the Scheme.
(a) It is proposed to exclude the Indian
members of the Prison staff (Section 3). This
is in accordance with the wishes of these
officers,
The exclusion of Indian members
of the Police staff has already been approved.
The Indian Prison officers who are now contribu-
tors are given the option of remaining, by
Section 19. If they do not desire to remain it
is provided that they should be repaid half their contributions. (As to this see below).
(b) Officers on Agreement, other than Police
and Prison officers are to be excluded (Section 4).
Officers on agreements exceeding two years were
included
