Government House,
Hong Kong, 17th July, 1928.
Sir,
With reference to your despatch No.27 of 19th
January, 1928, I have the honour to state that this Colony
has agreed to schedule Gibraltar for the purpose of continuous
pension arrangments as from 1st April, 1927. Recalculation
of the pension awarded to Mr. J. R. Crook, 0.B.E., in respect of his service in Hong Kong will therefore be necessary.
2.
I enclose a copy of a letter ad rossed to the
Colonial Secretary, Gibraltar, to which is attached an amended
statement of the total emoluments drawn by r. Crook in
Hong Kong, treating leave without pay as service on full pay
for this purpose.
I shall be glad if I may be informed in due
course of the amount of pension for which Mr. Crook will be
eligible from Hong Kong funds under the new arrangements and
if the Crown Agents may be instructed to issue pension
accordingly, making adjustment in respect of the pension
already paid.
3.
I hope shortly to submit to you for approval
amendments of the Hong Kong Pension Minute, bringing into
effect the proposals in your circular despatch of 14th
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S. AMERY, H.P.,
