greater maturity. Secondly, advancement to and within the Housing Manager grade requires passes in the examinations for the Hong Kong University Certificate in Housing and Estate Management or its equivalent and entrance to these courses requires matriculation.

Having reached the conclusion that matriculation should be the minimum educational qualification for entry to the Housing Assistant grade we propose that the pay scale of the grade should be adjusted in line with those of other comparable matriculation grades as follows :

Housing Assistant

Existing

Proposed

PS 13 29

MPS 16

30

A further examination of the Housing Manager grade has confirmed the information given to us earlier that appointments to the grade are made solely from suitably qualified Housing Assistants and thus in effect Housing Assistant can be regarded as the entry rank to the Housing Manager grade. We appreciate the advantage of this arrangement and therefore recommend that the situation be recognised and the two grades combined into a new Housing Manager grade. Assistant Housing Manager would then become the second rank of a matriculation grade and the pay scale and structure of the new grade should therefore be as follows :

Existing

Housing Assistant Grade

Proposed

Housing Manager Grade

MPS 16 30

As Housing Assistant and Housing Manager are grades

on which we deferred making recommendations in our Report No. 2, we recommend that our proposals, if accepted, should be implemented with effect from 1st October 1979, i.e. the date of implementation of the other recommendations in that Report.

We have the honour to be, Your Excellency's obedient servants,
