Sir:-

Gov

In reply to your letter, No 21459/99, of the 29th

ultimo, respecting the notification to this Department by

the Treasurer of Hong Kong of the Secretary of State's

approval of the grant of retiring allowances to Civil

Servants, I am directed by the Comptroller and Auditor

General to acquaint you, for the information of the Secretary of State, that he concurs generally in the instructions on the subject which it is proposed to issue.

As, however, the accounts of expenditure are

examined in London, it would be more convenient if the

notification of approval of payments originally made in

anticipation of such approval were forwarded by the

Treasurer direct to this Department instead of to the

Local Auditor.

I have the honour to be,

Under Secretary of State,

COLONIAL OFFICE.

Sir,

Your obedient servant

H. Phillips
