Transfer to Permanent and Pensionable Establishment.
I refer to my memo dated 27th May 1985 regarding transfer to the Fermanent and Fensionable Establishment (F.& P.E).
2.
I have received a memo from the Commissioner of Felice (copy attached) advising that approval for such a transfer has been granted subject to medical fitness. However, I am rather concerned at the implications of paragraph two of this meme, namely:
11
....the effective date of your transfer cannot, in accordance with established
practice, be earlier than the date you are found medically fit..
•
Does this in any way affect or conflict with the condition contained in my application to transfer namely that I will not be regarded categorised or remunerated differently or less favourably by the Hong Kong or United Kingdon governments than had I joined the F.& F. E. en 22nd March 1978?
3.
As stated in my earlier mere I am very concerned that my position as a member of the F. & P.E. who transferred from agreement terms after the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration on 26th September 1984 will be different to those who were already serving members of the P. & P.E. prior to the signing. In view of this I would appreciate it if you would furnish me with unequivocal legally-binding written guarantees that I will not be regarded, categorised or remunerated any differently or less favourably than those who were already serving on the P. & P.E. before 26th September 1984, by -

(a) the Government of the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong;
(b) Her Majesty's Government;
-
(c) Her Majesty's Overseas Civil Service; or
(a) the Overseas Development Administration.
approach the
I fully appreciate that it may be necessary for you United Kingdom authorities for some of these written guarantees. In view of the heavy financial commitment that I an proposing I feel that this is an absolutely necessary prerequirement of my transfer from agreement terms to the P. & P.E..
