To No.1.
In paragraph 9 of our despatch (No.3.on
the 1936 file) we informed the Governor that we did
not wish to press for the additions to pensions scheme
in the case of officers who retired on the ground of
ill-health which had been adopted in West Africa if he
any

saw objection. He now replies that he is of the
opinion that the existing rules in Hong Kong are
sufficiently generous, and presumably we may leave this
matter to his discretion. We also suggested that
rules for the payment of death gratuities should
conform to the usual practice of the Colonial Service
i.e. that they should be payable in the case of all
confirmed officers and not only when the officer has
completed five years' pensionable service. The
draft Bill which is enclosed in (1) will effect this
and subject to legal obsons. we may wait for the
Ordinance to be forwarded to us.
