LOW-COST HOUSING FOR RETIRING JUNIOR GOVERNMENT SERVANTS
The Governor-in-Council has approved a plan for the housing of
retiring junior Government servants who have been required, for operational
reasons, to live in Government quarters throughout most of their careers.
This new scheme applies to all junior Government officers now
living in departmental quarters because of the nature of their work.
The majority of those benefitting from the new arrangements are
retiring rank and file members of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force and
members of the other disciplined services.
This will include those policemen and pensioners who have been
unable to find suitable alternative accommodation and are therefore still
occupying Government quarters.
Such officers, provided their pensions do not exceed $950 a month,
are now eligible for accommodation in Government low-cost housing estates.
For the future, they will be able to apply for such housing two years
in advance of their retirement date.
If they are allocated Government low-cost flats before they actually
retire, they will be permitted to give up their departmental quarters in
order to enable them to move into any Government low-cost flats allocated
to them.
