(539) JAMES SIMPSON.

Under Secretary of State to Mr. Sampson.

Sir,

13th January, 1926

I am directed by Mr. Secretary Amery to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 2nd December, 1924, regarding the pension payable to Mr. R. V. McEwan from Hong Kong funds.

  1. In reply, I am to point out that in the last sentence of the despatch from the Officer Administering the Government of Hong Kong, to which the despatch referred to in your letter forms a reply, it is stated that so far as the Colonial Government is concerned Mr. McEwan's service is continuous, and that as he can obtain no pension from the Imperial Government in respect of his service at the Naval Yard, that period must be regarded as leave without salary. Leave without salary is not counted as service for the purposes of pension, and it will be seen that the decision taken in his case has not been altered.
  1. The Hong Kong pension laws may be consulted in the Library of the Colonial Office by any representative whom you may appoint between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., except Saturday when the hours are 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient servant

(360) G. CHINDLE.

Mr. Simpson to Under Secretary of State.

14th January, 1926.

Dear Sir,

60930/1824 R. G. McEwan's pension.
