MR. MCQUADE'S VISIT TO HONG KONG
Secondment of Hong Kong officers to senior Dependent Territory posts
Hong Kong is keen to participate in any trawls for senior officers
(Mr Rowlands's letter of 11 February and Mr Clift's reply of 10 March 1980).
We have approached them for recruits for Governor, TCI and BVI.
The
main problem is over terms of service. Hong Kong officers are paid
more than would be the case on an OSAS appointment.
Maybe the solution
is to share the cost between ODA (or HKGD for Governors) and Hong Kong?
Governor, BVI
2. We were pleased to have such high-quality nominees from Hong Kong
(Turner and Yaxley) Look forward to others in future.
Legal and Judicial Appointments
3. Would Hong Kong wish legal officers to be considered for any
Dependent Territory appointments?
What problems would this pose?
