Your telegrams Nos.1876 and 1879.
Hong Kong Salaries Commission. Your paragraphs 2 and 3 —
1. / Expatriation pay I have not yet
received Malayan views on your suggested
compromise for expatriation pay on salaries
over £300 per annum. If Malaya see no serious
objection, I feel your compromise proposal
should be adopted.
2.
Your paragraph 5. New proposal
regarding cost of living allowance of lower
grades. Your savingram No.86 has just
arrived. I had not previously seen terms of
strike settlement in respect of Government
daily paid labour. If you are in a position
to give me an assurance (a) that your present
proposals would result in total emoluments of
Government monthly paid minor staff becoming
substantially the same as total emoluments of
comparable Naval Dockyard staff, i.e. that
there will be no need for consequential
increases
