TUR, WHICH WAS A REQUEST FROM PSD FOR A COPY OF THE NOTES FOR A GOVERNOR DESIGNATE OF HONG KONG, TO WHICH I AM REPLYING SEPARATELY, HAS PROMPTED ME TO READ THE DOCUMENT ITSELF AND RAISED A QUERY IN MY MIND.

2.

replied

ARRANGEMENTS FOR ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE OF A GOVERNOR ARE THAT PASSAGES ARE PAID FOR ''DEPENDENT CHILDREN''. WE HAVE TWO BOYS, PETER AGED 24 BY THE TIME WE LEAVE AND ANDREW AGED 23. BOTH ARE AT THE MOMENT UNDERGOING FULL-TIME EDUCATION, PETER AT HARVARD AND ANDREW AT CAMBRIDGE. PETER WILL HOWEVER FINISH HIS EDUCATION, PRIOR TO JOINING THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE, JUST AS WE LEAVE.

WE ARE ARRANGING FOR BOTH PETER AND ANDREW TO JOIN US HERE FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS SO THAT THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN BE TOGETHER. WE WILL BE PAYING FOR THEIR PASSAGES TO COME TO HONG KONG. THE QUESTION IS WHETHER, ON DEPARTURE, THEY BOTH QUALIFY FOR PASSAGES HOME AS PART OF THE FAMILY.

4.

MOST GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD CHECK WITH WHOEVER RULES ON THIS SORT OF THING AND LET ME KNOW.

WILSON
