THE BISHOP OF HONG KONG

(THE RT. REVD. R. O. HALL)

24th November, 1945.

To the Rt. Hon. The Secretary of State for the Colonies.

Colonial Office,

London.

Sir,

Following previous strenous opposition to the New Grant Code

for the Colony of Hongkong, a joint resolution of Roman Catholic

and Anglican School Managers was submitted to the Director of

Education on November 20th, 1945, with the request that this be

forwarded to you, Sir, asking that final approval be not given to

this Code until we have had an opportunity to put before you our

case.

A copy of the Alternative Code and a Memorandum on the Basis

for Calculation of Block Grant drawn up by us in November & December,

1939, are attached for your information and also a copy of our letter

of January, 1940, giving qualified acceptance to the Code.

As Chairman of the six Boards of Managers of the Anglican Grant

Schools in Hongkong I now submit the following statement of my own

experience since the introduction of the New Code.
