PAY AND ALLOWANCE INCREASES FOR AUXILIARY FORCES
Government today announced details of substantial increases in
pay as well as in the daily ration allowance and bounty pay for volunteer
members of all the seven Auxiliary Forces.
Announcing this, a Government spokesman said these increases
are back-dated to January 1 this year.
He said larger pay increases will be paid to members of the
Auxiliary Police Force than the the other Auxiliary Forces in an effort
to attract more recruits to the Force.
The new pay scales for the other Auxiliary Forces represent an
all-round increase of about 20 per cent in the pay, allowance and bounty
This is estimated to cost the Government an extra $3.9 million this year.
The ration allowance and bounty pay increases are effected by
pay.
Auxiliary Forces Pay and Allowances (Amendment) Regulations 1972, and the
new pay scales for all the Auxiliary Forces are contained in a new Schedule,
both published in today's Government Gazette.
The daily rate of ration allowance for all the Forces is raised
from $8 to $10. The special flying allowance for pilots in the Royal Hong
Kong Auxiliary Air Force is increased from $3 to $3.60 per hour.
