sir,
I have eto. to acknowledge the
receipt of your despatch No. 253 of
the 13th of June and to transmit to
you a copy of a letter which has been
sent to the Crown Agents with regard
to the pensions payable to Mr.
E.A. Irving, late Director of
Education, Hong Kong.
2.
I have not adopted the
suggestion for deferring the date
of Mr. Irving's retirement, which
you put forward in the penultimate
paragraph of your despatch,
especially since I am advised that
it would result in only a trifling
increase to the widows prospective
pension.
I have atc.
(for the Secretary of State)
(Signed) HENRY LAMELKT
