Declaration. About promotion of overseas civil

servants, similar to current practice except for

certain posts restricted to locals (Chinese

Nationals).

Which posts are they? We understand those appearing

in LegCo are barred to overseas civil servants.

L.P.

We do not mean only those in LegCo. It means all

Secretary posts - 18 I believe.

M.R.

Some departments are headed by Staff Grade A or B

not only Secretary level. Are these posts also

closed to overseas officers.

L.P.

No. Only the 18 Secretary posts and the Commissioner

of Police.

M.R.

L.P.

If promotion continues to be on merit as you have

said, then we will all roll forward together to

S.G.A. but only local officers can go on to Secretary,

this will result in a few years in all posts at A

level being filled by overseas officers prevented

from going further. The local Secretaries will

have to pole vault over them direct from B1.

This is a technical question for the SAR Government.

However I have some tentative ideas. Staff Grade A

posts could be increased, or a new rank of Deputy

Secretary could be created for Overseas Officers.
