Sir,
I have the honour to submit for your
consideration a point which has arisen with regard to
the passage privileges of Mr. C.H.G. Bradley, Assistant
Auditor.
2. In August 1932 the Government brought into
force new Leave and Passage rules, a short comparative
summary of which is attached. These rules will apply to all new appointments but officers at present on the establishment were given the option of serving under the
new or old. This option had to be exercised by 1st
November 1932.
3. The new rules are incorporated in General
Orders a copy of which was forwarded to you under my
Flying Seal Schedule No. 19 of 1932.
4. The particular point I wish to refer to you is
the class of passage accommodation authorised to the
Assistant Auditor on the scale £450 X 50 X 700.
Acceptance of the new rules, which are distinctly more generous than the old, would mean that Mr. Bradley, his
wife and two children would be entitled to only 2nd Class accommodation because the maximum salary of his appointment is not "above £800 p.a.".
5.
Secretary.
I wrote as follows to the Honourable Colonial
Director of Colonial Audit,
Queen Anne's Chambers,
Dean Farrar Street,
London, S.W.1.
