Transfer to Permanent and Pensionable Establishment.

I refer to my meno dated 27th May 1985 regarding transfer to the Fermanent and Fensionable Establishment (F.& F.E).

2.

I have received a memo from the Commissioner of Felice (copy attached) advising that approval for such a transfer has been granted subject to medical fitness. However, I am rather concerned at the implications of paragraph two of this memo,namely :

17

...the effective date of your transfer cannot, in accordance with established practice, be earlier than the date you are found medically fit...."

,

Does this in any way affect or conflict with the condition contained in my application to transfer namely that I will not be regarded categorised or remunerated differently or less favourably by the Eong Kong or United Kingdon governments than had I joined the F.& F. E. on 22nd March 1978?

As stated in my earlier meno I am very concerned that my position as a member of the F. & P.E. who transferred from agreement texas

after the signing of the Sine-Eritish Jeint Declaration on 26th September 1984 will be different to those who were already.. serving members of the P. & P.E. prior to the signing. In view of this I would appreciate it if you would furnish me with unequiveeal legally-binding written guarantees that I will not be regarded, categorised or remunerated any differently or less favourably than those who were already serving on the P. & P.E. before 26th September - 1984, by

(a) the Government of the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong;

(b) Her Majesty's Government;

(c) Her Majesty's Overseas Civil Service; er

Overseas Development Administration.

I fully appreciate that it may be necessary for you to approach the United Kingdom authorities for some of these written guarantees. In view of the heavy financial commitment that I am proposing I feel that this is an absolutely necessary prerequirement of my transfer from agreement terms to the P. & P.E.
