Book the holder is exempt from being insured as an ordinary employed contributor. An exempt person is required to produce his Exemption Book to the employer immediately upon its receipt, or at the time of entering upon any new employment, and at such other times as the employer may reasonably require.
When the worker produces a current Exemption Book, the employer is required to pay contributions at the rate of 5d. a week, but the worker's share of the contribu tions is not payable, and the employer is not entitled to make any deduction from the worker's wages.
The exempt person is supplied with a special (Class X.) card, which he is required to produce to the employer for the purpose of stamping with the employer's contributions of 5d. a week.
Unless and until the worker produces a current Exemption Book the employer must pay contributions at the full employed rate of 10d. a week (9d. for women), and is entitled to deduct the worker's share from wages.
Exempt Persons are entitled to medical benefit, subject to certain conditions, but not to sickness, disablement, or maternity benefits. An insured person who becomes exempt ceases thereupon to be entitled to the latter benefits.

Dear Mr. Flood,
Thank you for your letter of the 18th March.
I do not think it is desirable for me to enter any
further into the question of the sale of liquor in
the Chinese restaurant, for I understand this has been
satisfactorily arranged: at least perhaps I had better
put it that it has been arranged in such a fashion as
just to meat what Hong Kong want.
Yours sincerely,
MINISTRY OF HEALTH,
