LABOUR DEPARTMENT WARNS AGAINST IMPOSTORS

******

The Assistant Commissioner of Labour, Mr. David Lin today warned

factory proprietors to be on their guard against bogus Labour Department

Officers who sought money for advertisement in a departmental publication

Guide to Workmen's Compensation Legislation.

Mr. Lin said recently proprietors had complained to the department

that a man who claimed to be a member of the Labour Department had sought

money for that purpose.

"No Labour Department Officer is authorised to solicit money for

any purpose whatsoever", he stressed.

Mr. Lin advised that any proprietor who was approached by anyone

purporting to be a member of the Labour Department should immediately

report the matter either to the nearest police station or the Senior Labour

Officer (Industry) at Tel: 3-688842.

The Guide to Workmen's Compensation Legislation, he pointed out,

is available free of charge at the offices of the Labour Department.
