FURTHER ACTION.
I have now been able to examine
more closely the representations of your
constituent Mr. A.J. Stephens of the Hong
Kong Police, about whom you wrote to me on
the 17th of June.
At the outset I should explain
that the petition, a copy of which was
forwarded by Mr. Stephens has not yet reached
me from the Governor of Hong Kong, and until
I receive it with the Governor's observations,
it will not be possible to pronounce
upon its merits.
I can say however that as a result
need y
of urgent recruitment of certain Home
fromme UK Landise Porcis
policemen for service in Hong Kong during
the period immediately prior to the re-occupation
of the Colony, some details of the pensionable
status of these men, of whom Stephens was
one, were unfortunately not fully borne in mind
with the result that a good deal of sorting
out has had to be done.
I think however
that as a result of further correspondence
with the Governor this aspect of the
matter is being satisfactorily resolved.
