We have stated that the newly recruited should not
be included in the seniority roll with those fully established.
A main feature of this is one of age, the newly
recruited is paid a basic wage his years of age and receives
annual increments on or as birthday presents while the Pre-War
officer is paid a basic wage on recruitment or as the proposed
scale puts it, assumed as receiving Pounds 260 at the age of 26
years with incremental advances on the dates of previous pro-
motion. Be this as it may, its the future of those younger
officers that is at stake, The newcomer is superimposed
throughout the Seniority Roll and when time takes tall of the
ageing, the younger of the Pre-War officers will still, as they
are at present, not receive the full and sympathetic consider
ation which they are due, for the newcomer having been allowed
senior place to them will retain that seniority and secure
promotion which they, the Pre-War Junior officer, might, and by
right, hoped to occupy.
Section 12 of the Police Farce Ordinance
No. 37 of 1932 grants power to the Commissioner of Police to make
regulations regarding the Police Faroe. Sub sections (2) (3) (4)
and (5) of this section make certain provisos, from which we wish
ما الله
to draw attention to S.S. (2). Any order made under this
section when published becomes part of the Ordinance. We attach
herewith a copy of Special Memo No. 50 of 1941, dated 27.11.41
"Promotion Board" and in particular we draw attention to
concluding paragraph.
As an officers position in the
Seniority Roll is gained by his promotion this latter paragraph
safeguards his interests.
Therefore until the contrary is
provid, no one should supersede him in the said Seniority Roll.
In mibaitting this Sir, we respectfully beg
that it receives your earnest and sympathetic consideration.
The issue invalved being one for the
sideration of Government,
trust that this will be forwarded
to the proper authorities.
