No. 4.84 Confidential.

Your telegram No. 317.

Salaries Commission.

From your telegram under reference

it appears that you would be prepared

to consider on their merits for application

of Salaries Commission terms cases of

officers who were on the Hong Kong

establishment on 1st January 1947, but

who were not on duty in the Colony on

They

1st January 1947, provided that:-

(a) have subsequently returned, or

(10) have been seconded elsewhere

2. I am not clear whether you propose

to extend such consideration on merits

of case to officers who were on the

Hong Kong establishment on 1st January

1947, but who were not on duty in the

Colony on that date (and have not

subsequently returned) because they were

on leave prior to transfer or retirement.

3. If you propose to consider cases

of officers referred to in para. 1 and

not repeat not those referred to in

para. 2, will not this give rise to

difficulty and do you feel that any

representations which might be made by

officers referred to in para. 2 could be

satisfactorily answered?
