Your telegram No.350. Engineering
Apprenticeships.
1. Interim free grant of £1,000, to
be charged to Hong Kong's.allocations from
C. D. & W. funds, has been approved to
cover award of further 5 apprenticeship
scholarships referred to in para. 9 of
my despatch No. 267 of 23rd December.
This interim grant is intended to cover
cost of passages and outfit allowances,
and incidental expenses including
maintenance for first few weeks only,
as it is not yet possible to assess
acurately total cost. Latter is however
expected to be in region of £3,500.
2. Each scholarship is for one year
in first instance, with extension of
one further year subject to satisfactory
work and progress report.
3. I have assumed that suggestion
in your telegram No. 350 referred to second
batch of 5 scholarships only, and I should
be grateful for your confirmation of my
understanding that expenses in connection
with first batch of 5 scholarships may Je
debited to Hong Kong funds.
In this
connection
