GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG, 12th. February, 1913.

I have the honour to state that it has been

brought to my attention that modifications of the Pension Rules in

force in the United Kingdom, were, some time ago, in contemplation,

whereby there was to be established the principle of gratuities to

Civil Servants on voluntary resignation from the service before

they had qualified for pension.

2.

I should be glad to be furnished with such

information on this matter as may be at your disposal and further

to enquire whether or not you would be disposed to favour the

introduction of such modifications into the Regulations governing

Pensions and Gratuities in this Colony.

I have the honour to be,

Sir.

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

M
