The Honourable

Mr. Chau Siu-ki,

Agree with Mr. Kotowall that grant should be equivalent to 12 months' salary.

(Intd.) H.E.P.

If the pension cannot be increased and apparently it cannot, I am in favour of a much higher gratuity than that proposed and consider it merited.

(Intd.) P.H.H.

Agree with Hon. Mr. Holyoak.

(Intd.) A. 0. L.

Agree to not more than £1000.

(Intd.) A. R. L.

I unhesitatingly agree to the proposed gratuity of #750, though consider the amount inadequate. hope that Honourable Unofficial Members will join with me in recommending the grant of a sum equivalent to 12 months' salary.

(Entd.) R. H. K.

Agree with Honourable Mr. Kotewall.

C. S. K. (Intd.)
