service in Hong Kong. The concession will be dependent

upon receipt of the refund of pension contributions

made to the officers when they resigned from their

home forces on appointment to the Colony. The Governor

appreciates that no contributions can be expected from

the local authorities concerned.

A list of the officers concerned is enclosed

and the Governor has asked that the various Police Forces

should be asked to provide pension computations on the

above-mentioned basis. I am accordingly to request you

to be good enough to approach the appropriate local

authorities for this information. If however, you

prefer this Department will com...unicate direct with

these authorities, and you will no doubt advise as to

this. In view of the last paragraph of Mr. Stotesbury's

letter 916,289/48 of the 4th May, 1949, a direct

communication will be sent to the Royal Ulster

Constabulary regarding J. Holines and R.N.Oliver.

I am, etc.

(Lgd) J. B. Sidebotham.
