Heven;
Mr Kevin Woodfield
HM Treasury
You asked how safeguard would work.
HMOCS officers salary at 1992 HK$840,000.
Increases in line with UK RPI to HK$950,000 at 1997.
Retires in 1997 and pension calculated on basis of HK$950,000 per annum.
That pension = HK$300,000 per annum.
If sterling safeguard was 30:1, basic pension protected would be £10,000 per annum.
