County and Borough Police Forces in this country and securing preservation of their Home Pension rights. We can but inform Hong Kong of the position, as in draft savingram?

Armed with the rather brief comments contained in the Government's savingram at (20), we are now able to give a final reply to the M.P.'s who wrote forwarding representations from certain 'post-war' Hong Kong Police Inspectors. The Governor has not been very helpful in assisting us to reply to the point about the retiring age of 45 but I think we can safely say, as I have in the draft letters to the M. Ps., that it is not the intention, in general,to require officers to retire at 45?
