Copy for 21076/7/49.
My telegram No. 247 Confidential.
Police petition.
1. In your despatch No. 88 Staff, you withheld
comment on the petitioners contention that their
total emoluments are inadequate, pending your further
consideration of the Lo Committee's report on cost of
living. When replying to my telegram under reference,
please say whether, in view of recent increases in cost
of living allowances, you are now satisfied as to the
adequacy of the petitioners' total emoluments,
particularly for married fficers on or near the
minimum of the scale. In particular, I should wish
to be assured that no such conditions exist in
Hong Kong as would be comparable with those referred
to in the second sentence of paragraph 199 of the Malayan
Salaries Commission Report.
2. Grateful also for reply to my telegram
No. 175, which is relevant in this connection.
