he believes the Hong Kong level for the
Education staff is fully maintained.
In two
respects, however, he makes recommendations
A
which will go some way to please the
petitioners; first, that the post of Headmaster
of the Central British School should be lifted
to super-scale status, and secondly, that the
non-pensionable allowance which it was proposed
to attach to the post of Senior Master should
be abandoned in favour of a special fixed
pensionable salary of £1,000 per annum. In
paragraph 5 of No. 5 the Governor mentions
certain consequential modifications which will
be necessary in relation to the allowances
payable to serving officers on promotion to
Senior Master in order to conform with this new
recommendation of a fixed pensionable salary.
He adds that a similar concession will have to
be made to European mistresses (a fixed salary
of £740 for the post of Senior Mistress) and to
certain officers in the Legal Service ( a fixed
salary of £1,250 to be given to the Land Officer
and the Registrar).
Subject to the observations of Mr. Mayhew
and the C.S.D. I think there is no reason to
decline to accept the Governor's view on this
petition and the Secretary of State should reply
to No. 5, therefore, asking that the petitioners
may be informed that the Secretary of State has
received and considered their representations in
consultation with the Governor; that the
Secretary of State has approved the two
recommendations
