Dear Mr. McIntyre,

Thank you for your letter of 9 September 1985.

In so far as the arrangements for pensions payments, provision for compensation and alternative employment upon loss of career are concerned, I can assure you that in transferring from agreement terms to pensionable terme with nrevious soms of bought back as pensionable service, you are not placed in a less favourable position than had you been appointed to the pensiona) 1 establishment as from your date of first appointment.

In reply to your second question, an officer's eligi for membership of Her Majesty's Overseas Civil Semics (cor) is defined under the Special Regulations by the Secretam co Sente for the Colonier as follows

(2) if he is an expatriate officer

who har

subsequently been appointed to a pensionable office either on probation or as a confirme: officer, and was either

(a) selected for appointment, by or with the

approval of the Secretary of State, or

(b) recruited through the Crown Agents, or

(c) otherwise recruited to a post for which

a normal channel of recruitment is either the Colonial Office or the Crown Agents"

Mr. W.M. McIntyre,

Chief Inspector of Police,
