AFTER 5. CR55 HAS BEEN USED FROM TIME TO TIME IN THE PAST.

CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF EACH CASE, BOTH IN THE CIVIL SERVICE BRANCH OF THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT AND IN THE FOREIGN AND COMMONWEALTH OFFICE, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT USE OF THE SUMMARY

PROCEDURE OF CR55 WOULD BE APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO DEAL, WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY, WITH THE AFTERMATH OF THE AMNESTY GRANTED IN NOVEMBER 1977.

6. THE SPOKESMAN ADDED THAT CR55 HAS BEEN USED SPARINGLY IN

THE PAST AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE SO USED IN THE FUTURE.

7. HE ALSO STATED THAT AN OFFICER WHOSE SERVICES ARE BEING TERMINATED, WILL BE PERMITTED TO REMAIN IN ANY GOVERNMENT QUARTERS WHICH HE NOW OCCUPIES FOR UP TO SIX MONTHS, SUBJECT

TO THE PAYMENT OF RENT.
