This was not mentioned in my istler on 26t. vctober 1904 since it did not concern the sing British Agreement, but we should now welco..e your assurance that quite apart from considering menuers of E.M.V.V... from Hong Long for vacancies elsewnere in the dependent territories (where, as you acknowledge, the opportunities are likely to be very few), the British Government will assist with finding employment in the United Kingaom, as it did for those who had served in other former colonies through the Overseas Service Resettlement Bureau. The number of officers affected is unlikely to be large, and, at least as regards the Administrative Service, there should be little problem about suitability for entry, for example, to the Home Civil Service since recruitment in recent years has been handled by the United Kingdom Civil Service Commission as part of the annual Administrative Stream recruitment.
He are pleased to note from your letter that both the British Government and the Hong Kong Government have accepted that there will need to be a
