asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what proposals he has for compensating those members of Her Majesty's Overseas Civil Service who, before the formation of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, were in the employment of the Government of Nyasaland and who, when the Federation was formed, became the employees of the Federal Government.

The terminal arrangements for all members of the Federal Public Service were settled by all the Governments concerned when the Federation was dissolved, and my right hon. Friend has no proposals for amending them.
