connection I re et that information concerning
tenure of scholarships given in para. 2 above
was omitted from my despatch No. 267. As first year of
first batch is now nearing completion, it is proposed .
to authorise extension of scholarships to cover second
year, in view of satisfactory progress reports on
all 5 students concerned. Copies of these reports
follow by air mail.
4. One of students concerned, CHAK FUK-YAT, who
has been apprentice to Metropolitan Vickers Electrical
Company, has already applied for extension for further
year and has in addition sought permission to undertake
13 weeks practical experiene course under arrangements
sug ested by Metropolitan Vickers. This is recommended
and endorsed by F.B.I. As person named will not draw
remuneration during this period, it is proposed to
pay his allowance in full.
5. I estimate that to al cost of first batch
over two-year period will be ₤3500
contingencies.
