On the 8th July, you sent to . Creech
Jones a letter, which I now return, from Sub-Inspector A. J. Stephens, of the Hong Kong Police Force, enclosing a copy of a petition
addressed to the Secretary of State, through the Governor, about the position and terms of service of members of United Kingdom Police Forces who were recruited for service in the
Hong Kong Police.
The petition has not yet been received
officially from the. Governor, and until we do
receive it in this way, together with his observations on it, we are not in position to
comment on it in detail. I can, however, say
that as a result of the urgent need of
recruitment of policemen from U.K. Police
Forces for service in Hong Kong during the period immediately prior to the re-occupation
of the Colony, some details of the pensionable
status of these men, of whom Stephens was
one,
were unfortunately not fully borne in
mind with the result that a good deal of
I think sorting out has had to be done.
however that as a result of further
correspondence with the Governor this aspect
of
