senior staff are at the maxima of their scales, and that women and men are paid at equal rates. The Committee assumed that the present practice in relation to the holders of clinical chairs in the Medical Faculty will continue, namely that they will be paid a fixed honorarium in lieu of fees for their consultant practice and that the fees will be paid to the University to be used for the development of the Medical School. As this is to some extent a self-balancing item it has not been included in the table of estimates. The Committee recommended that the University should consider a scheme of marriage and family allowancos, but as this would probably be within the maximun salaries suggested, separate provision is not made for it in the table.

8. The Committee approved of the recommendation of the Asquith Commission that a scheme of expatriation allowances for externally recruited staff who retain their domicilo in the United Kingdom, and for locally recruited staff when deputed for study or duty in the United Kingdom, should be institutod. Basic rates of pay for all staff would be the same; the differences would arise from eligibility for overseas pay or expatriation allowance. In the table the rates shown are not the basic rates but basic rates and full overseas allowances; the Committee considered that it was a matter for the University to decide the proportion between basic rates and overseas allowance and made no attempt in the estimate to decide how much of the annual pay of £1,500 for a. professor, for example, was attributable to each. It should be noted therefore that tho filling of Senior posts by locally recruited Chinese would result in a reduction in the following estimates.
