Ref. 33792/34
Sir,
I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
of the 24th August, enclosing a copy of the despatch of
the Governor of Hong Kong, covering the position with regard
to Mui Tsai in the Colony up to 31st May last.
My Committee has carefully considered this despatch
and I was instructed to make the following observations:-
The report states that the Lady Inspectors paid
1,517 visits during the half year under review. As there
are 2,508 Mui Tsai, it would appear that in six months only
three Mui Tsai in every five were visited.
The Committee
think it desirable that every Mui Tsai should be visited at
least once in every six months, though once in every four
months would be preferable. In these circumstances, we
imagine that it would be necessary to increase the number of
Lady Inspectors, but we presume that this would not involve
any considerable increase in expenditure.
The Committee
would much appreciate being informed what is the salary of
these Inspectors.
No comments yet.
Private notes are available after approval.
