Dear Cowell,

Perhaps I may reply unofficially to your letter of

the 13th. August (53528/27/36) relating to the transfer

of a Special Place award to John Close to a school in

Hong Kong.

We have had similar inquiries from Local Education

Authorities before on behalf of Special Place pupils whose

parents are going abroad, and our answer is always to the

effect that we have no means by which we could effect or

assist in the transfer of the Special Place; we then

suggest that the application should be made direct to the

Director of Public Instruction, or the corresponding officer,

in the place where the parent is migrating to. So far as

the Board are concerned, I am afraid that the Essex Director

could only be told the same thing in the present case.

Yours sincerely,

H. R. Cowell, Esq., Colonial Office, Downing Street, S. W.1.
