To what extent the Company should be made liable to
pay the cost of these terms, the present Government
staff were of course not particularly interested,
as that was a matter for a bargain between the
Government and the Company, but Mr. King thought that it would be reasonable to invite the Company to
bear the cost of any payments directly incurred on
account of the abolition of Government employment. (He has all the detailed information about the
existing staff and would be willing to help with
calculations as to what would be the
e.g.,
approximate cost to the Company of any set of
proposals on above lines for reimbursing the Govern- ment).
