EXCO MINUTES : 3 July 1979

THE CREATION OF PENSIONABLE OFFICES ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ICAC

(L/M in CAC/C/178/1)

The Council considered memorandum XCC(79)68.

The Council ADVISED and the Governor ORDERED:

that a new pensionable grade should

be created in the ICAC as indicated

in paragraph 12 of the memorandum to

accommodate selected pensionable

Government officers who joined the

Commission under the terms of Civil

Service Branch Circular No. 5/74.

The Council noted confirmation by Sir Y.K. Kan

that the problem had been considered by the

Advisory Committee on Corruption and that the

proposal had its support. The Council also

noted the point made in discussion by the

Financial Secretary that one of the considerations

taken into account originally in deciding on

a Special Allowance had been that service with

the Commission was not pensionable, and that

to continue the Allowance now after the creation

of a pensionable grade therefore constituted an

additional concession to the officers concerned.

(The Commissioner ICAC (Acting) (Mr G.A. HARKNETT)

attended before the Council for the discussion of this

item).
