The suggestion in 6 that Hong Kong should
provide a larger number of senior grade posts in the
Marine Service was purely tentative and if the
Governor prefers the grading recently suggested by
Hong Kong in 1, then I think we may agree.
As far as the modification of the residential
allowances is concerned, this depends upon the
decision taken on the Anomalies Committee Report on
53723/38 and I suggest that no decision should be
taken on this file until the other question has been
decided. If it is decided to accept the
recommendations of the Report, then I see no objection
to the salaries proposed in 8. If, on the other hand,
as I have suggested, a modification of the Committee's
recommendation is agreed to, then Hong Kong will
presumably revert to the salaries originally proposed.
As far as paragraphs 4 and 6 of the despatch
are concerned, I see no objection to the Governor's
proposals.
