Sir,
Speech by the Hon. J.N. Henderson, OBE, JP Secretary for Education & Manpower
in the Legislative Council on 20th November 1985
on Resolution under
Section 40 of the Pneumoconiosis (Compensation) Ordinance
I move the motion standing in my name on the Order Paper.
The maximum and minimum levels of compensation specified
in the Pneumoconiosis (Compensation) Ordinance for death, total
permanent incapacity and constant attention, and for daily rates
of medical expenses, are the same as those under the Employees'
Compensation Ordinance. It is therefore proposed that they be
increased in line with the equivalent levels in the Employees'
Compensation Ordinance, as provided in the Resolution which I have
just moved.
A draft resolution of the Legislative Council has been
prepared under Section 40 of the Pneumoconiosis (Compensation)
Ordinance which makes the proposed adjustments.
Sir, I beg to move.
