Mr. Lee had asked: "Will Government take appropriate measures
to prevent policemen and other rank and file disciplined staff housed in
departmental quarters, especially those whose duties require them to be so
accommodated, from becoming homeless when the time comes for them to leave
those quarters upon retirement?"
Replying to yet another question by the Hon. P.C. Woo, the Colonial
Secretary said the Commissioner of Police had a Working Party examining the
question of utilising civilian personnel not only in the traffic branch but in
other branches of the Police Force.
He added that the Commissioner would make recommendations to him
when the Working Party's findings were submitted.
The Hon. P.C. Woo had asked: "Are there any duties performed by
the uniformed personnel of the Police Traffic Branch which could be performed
by civilians? If so, will Government recruit additional civilian staff and
release uniformed personnel for proper Police duties?"
