Mr. Meade's views gloss in his statement
"Admission" is wholly without justification.
On the grounds that the 3/60th
calling attention to the method in which Mr.
Mansell-dices dealt with the line and the
interpolation which he made in citing his
admission when reporting to Government

In accordance with Mr. Meade's marginal note on previous page, I have in the
draft said nothing about abolition
of office, but have based
the decision on
the ground of treating
him in the same
way
as if he had been
allowed to remain in service till he
was sixty - which gives him the extra 3 years proposed.
I am
sorry
I quoted the
"abolition" rule in my previous minute incorrectly. The additions specified in that rule are inclusive, not exclusive, of Rule
No. 12
are
the climate bonus, the result being that an officer who (like Mr. Freire) has
served between 10-15
years, getting 5 years in all, i.e., no addition for abolition. This Hong Kong rule follows the Straits rule, (8 in Civil
Service
rules there way
n
abolition
addition
less
liberal than the Ceylon rule established 20 years ago), but as it was decided
not to alter the Straits
rule (see end of Mr. Rode's final and his minute thereon) I would not raise
the question now of making
the Hong Kong rule more liberal. It does not affect Freire's case as dealt with in draft
herewith
