The recognition of the total period
of Colonial service in the case of an officer
transferred to Hong Kong is satisfactory both
on the question of leave (see paragraph 9 (9)) and passages (see paragraph 3 (1) of the Passage
Regulations).
The grant which may be made in respect
of a fiancée is, I think, an unduly generous
provision. The Eastern Colonies gave this
concession during the immediate post-war period,
with rather troublesome results in many cases.
If in any special circumstances an ex gratia
grant should reasonably be made for a fiancée's
passage, it could better be done as a concession
outside the Regulations, and I would advise that any mention of such a privilege should not appear in
the Regulations themselves. On the question of
the provision for the Governor's Private Secretary
and A.D.C., which is included on page 10 under
heading "Temporary Staff", I agree with Mr. Calder that it should probably not appear in these
Regulations for the Government's staff.
Otherwise I have no comments.
