I have the honour to inform you that I have had

under consideration the question of Study Leave and to submit for your consideration copy of a draft amendment to General Orders

embodying my proposals.

2.

In this connection I would invite your attention

to your despatch No.62 dated 5th March, 1926, concerning the

grant of an extension of leave to Dr. McKenny and to your

despatch No.276 dated 26th August concerning a like grant to

26180 Mr. R. Hall, Assistant Government Marine Surveyor. I am of

2011

1/67

Ret

opinion that the conditions under which such leave may be granted

should be defined.

3.

It will be seen from the draft amendment that it

is proposed to make a differentiation in treatment according to

the benefit which it is estimated will accrue to Government in

each case.

The cases of the officers in the despatch under

reference would of course be considered as coming with in the

first category.

4.

My Executive Council agrees to the terms of the draft amendment and I shall be glad if I may have your sanction

thereto.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

I have the honour to be,

Sif,

Your most obedient humble servant,

LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S. AMERY, M.P.,
