REFERRING TO THE LACK OF A CENTRAL FUND TO COVER DEFAULTED CASES, MR YIU SAID THIS WOULD BE EXAMINED AGAIN AFTER COMPULSOR Y INSURANCE HAD BEEN IN FORCE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.
HE POINTED OUT THAT EXPERIENCE HAD SHOWN THAT EVEN WITHOUT COMPULSORY INSURANCE THERE WERE LESS THAN TEN CASES OF DEFAULT A YEAR, AND ALL THESE CASES EVENTUALLY RECEIVED CASH ASSISTANCE FROM THE BREWIN TRUST FUND.
ON CALLS TO RAISE THE LEVELS OF COMPENSATION, MR YIU POINTED OUT THAT IT WAS HIS DEPARTMENT'S CURRENT POLICY TO REVIEW THE LEVELS EVERY TWO YEARS IN ORDER TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS FOR INFLATION.
SUCH A REVIEW WAS DUE TOWARDS THE END OF THIS YEAR.
