Treatment of Members of Her Majesty's Overseas

Civil Service (HMOCS) in Hong Kong

The Prime Minister has considered the Foreign Secretary's minute of 7 March about pension arrangements for members of Her Majesty's Overseas Civil Service in Hong Kong.

The Prime Minister is not entirely happy with what is proposed and regrets that it appears not to be possible for the present Hong Kong Government to set up an arrangement which would go some way to funding the estimated capitalised value of HMOCS entitlements in 1997 (i.e. £210m.). She notes, however, that it is proposed to review this possibility in 1990.

But, provided all her colleagues are content, the Prime Minister is content to go along with the proposals in the Foreign Secretary's minute.

I am copying this letter to the Private Secretaries to members of OD(K) and to Richard Hatfield (Cabinet Office).
