P.7.
Sir,
I have the honour to invite reference to Mr.
Ormsby Gore's despatch No.384 of 9th December, 1927, conveying
his approval of the proposal in paragraph 4 of Sir Thomas
(then Mr.) Southorn's despatch No.435 of 19th October, 1927,
that extensions of leave not exceeding fourteen days to suit
steamship arrangements might, where necessary, be granted
from the special leave with half pay allowable under (old)
Colonial Regulation No.85.
2.
Such special leave was, as stated in Sir
Thomas Southorn's despatch, automatically deducted from the
officer's resident service qualifying for further leave and
added to his account of half pay leave taken.
3.
With the abolition of ordinary half pay leave
in the case of those officers who have elected to come under
the new leave regulations (copies of which were forwarded to
you in Sir Thomas Southorn's despatch No. 379 of 9th August,
1932) this method of meeting this contingency is no longer available as no half pay leave which might be used to repay
the loan is ordinarily earned.
4.
It is observed from the cases of certain
officers who have recently applied to you for an extension
of leave that where full pay leave is available such leave
has been granted as in the case of Miss A.E.E. Steele, School
Mistress, (your despatch No.170 of 9th May, 1933) but where
