REGE 22 DEC 09
Hon. Mr. E, A. Hewett.
QUESTIONS.
As it is understood that Mr. A. Carter, Sanitary Sur- veyor, has been retired from the Government service, will the Honourable the 'olonial Secre tary inform the Council when this official first received notice as to his being pensioned?
Is it not a fact that Mr. Carter was at home on leave for nearly a twelvemonth in the full belief that he was to return to this Colony and that within five weeks of the date of the expiring of his leave (as shown in the Civil Service List) and when he was on the point of leaving England to take up his appointment here he was for the first time informed by the Colonial Office that his services were no longer required?
Will the Government, taking into consideration the fact of Mr. Carter's good service, and that owing to his age he is now no longer elligible for obtain- ing fresh employment in a Government or municipal office, recommend to the Secretary of State that under the exceptional circumstances of the case Mr. Carter be granted a special pension of say £130 p.a.; or as an alternative an offer of re-employment here on similar con- ditions to those of his former post?
In the event of the Government being unable to agree
to this will His Excellency consent to refer the question as now raised to the Secretary of State?
