:

In reference to my application for promotion in the Colonial Service dated December 20th 1967, I have the honour to submit the following and request that it may be forwarded to the Secretary of State.

My present agreement terminates on April 4th of this year and I shall there be out of employment.

I have been Bacteriologist to the Colony of Hongkong for more than one year and Assistant Bacteriologist for nearly two years. The application is an urgent matter to me because having spent three years on scientific work at a salary far below the commencing salary of the Junior Medical Officers here I am not in possession of the means to enable me to remain long out of employment, so that if nothing is available for me within about the next half year I shall be obliged to give up scientific work for which I have spent so much time and training. I believe that you will inform the Secretary of State that my work here has been in every way satisfactory and that I am leaving only because the needs of the Service do not now require a European Assistant Bacteriologist. The terms which the Government felt it could offer me under the circumstance would have left me at a permanent disadvantage compared with all other Medical Officers who are in the Government Service here.

My address after April 4th will be c/o Mr. Heanley, Fairspeare, Ascot U. Wychwood, Oxfordshire.

To Hon. Prin. Civ. Med. Officer.

I have the honour to be

Sir,

your obedient servant

CM Heanley
