HONG KONG-FINANCIAL DEVOLUTION

In 1969 we agreed to the delegation of financial powers by the Governor of Hong Kong to, inter alia, the "Establishment Officer" and "Assistant Establish- ment Officers.

2. The office of Establishment Officer has now been abolished in Hong Kong and the above posts have been replaced by Establishment Secretary and Assistant Colonial Secretaries and Hong Kong in their telegram 506 of 29 July request us to agree to substituting these new posts for the old ones. As it is a change in name only I trust you will see no objection to this.
