We have received instructions from the Goverment of Hong
Kong to pay a pension of £150 per annum to r F.Culliford,late Sub-Inspector of Police, but no mention is made of temporary increase
thereon.
We understand that a revised scheme of salaries is in force
in Hong Kong as from 1/1/1920, and presume therefore that no increase
of officers should be paid on pensions/retired on revised salaries,i,e since
1/1/1920.
Can you please say whether this is so?.
In the case of Straite Settlements and Federated Malay
States the increase on Widows' and Orphans' Pensione in respect of
deceased officers who were brought on to a revised scale of salary
is the same as the increase on ordinary pensions calculated on a
revised salary,i.e. 10% from 1.1.1920 only. In at least one case, however, (that of re Tutcher) a Hong Kong Widows' and Orphans'
pension calculated on the basis of a revised salary has been
granted the same increase,1.c. 25% as a Widows and Orphans' pension
calculated on an unrevised salary,
