As indicated in my reply to a similar question on the 5th instant, any proposal for reviewing the pensions of officers and servants of mental hospital authorities who retired before the 1st July, 1940, must be examined in relation to the adjustment of pensions of superannuated officers and servants of public authorities both central and local as a whole. The matter is still under active consideration and it is expected that an announcement can be made in the near future.
