Gentlemen,

With reference to my telegram of the 16th January 1920,

I am directed to forward for your information a list of the

Civil Pensioners of this Colony, who receive their

pensions through you, with the amount payable to each

calculated in accordance with the scale of increases recently

authorised by the Secretary of State for the Colonies.

2. Several of these pensioners may however be receiving

pensions in addition from other sources and I am to point

out that in such cases the percentage on former pension will

require recalculations. For this purpose I enclose a copy

of the rules upon which the list has been calculated.

3. I am unable to state further which pensioners are

domiciled outside the United Kingdom though drawing their

pensions through you and I would inform you therefore that

these increases are only payable to pensioners domiciled

within the United Kingdom.

I am,

etc...

(ad)

E. BULLOCK.

for Colonial Secretary.
