2 month's half pay leave at a late date (is because he thinks his time now in England is deducted from the leave he will earn on his return).

The Governor suggested that Mr Baker's new appointment should be pensionable. In respect of his new appointment, Mr Baker was granted a leave and a free passage home.

We replied that the bonus could not be sanctioned, but that Mr Baker's old appointment should count towards his pension (under the pension minute he would count 23 years of his time), and that he should be regarded as having spent 1½ pay leave in England.

Mr Baker was allowed the cost of his passage to Ryland on his new appointment.

It now appears that Mr. Baker has already been paid the bonus, and that several other officers have been awarded similar sums of money, none of which have been reported to the Secretary of State.

Mr Baker does not consider that the grant of pension rights in respect of his previous appointment in England is a suitable compensation for the loss of half pay leave while in England.

I think that we must agree to allow him to keep it, but that he must under these circumstances (a) surrender pension rights in respect of his previous appointment, and (b) his new appointment must be regarded as an entirely new one, with the interval between the two appointments being treated as a break.
