YOUR TELNO. 1132: FOREIGN DOMESTIC HELPERS: PARLIAMENTARY QUESTION
SINCE THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY CHANGES TO THE BAN ON PART-TIME WORK AND THE NEED TO TAKE OUT MEDICAL INSURANCE FOR FOREIGN DOMESTIC HELPERS WE WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT THE WRITTEN REPLY BE AMENDED AS FOLLOWS :
''THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED ON 16 APRIL REVISED CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT FOR FOREIGN DOMESTIC HELPERS IN HONG KONG, COVERING THEIR CONDITIONS OF STAY AND WAGE LEVELS, AND NEW ARRANGE- MENTS FOR CHANGES OF EMPLOYMENT AND RENEWAL OF CONTRACT. THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT ALSO ISSUED A REMINDER THAT FOREIGN DOMESTIC HELPERS SHOULD NOT CONTRAVENE THEIR CONDITION OF STAY BY TAKING ON ADDITIONAL WORK AS PART-TIME HELPERS.
EMPLOYERS WERE ALSO REMINDED TO TAKE OUT MEDICAL INSURANCE FOR THEIR FOREIGN DOMESTIC HELPERS TO COVER ACCIDENTS ARISING OUT OF AND IN THE COURSE OF EMPLOYMENT.
THE REVISED CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT WERE THE RESULT OF
A HONG KONG GOVERNMENT REVIEW OF THE EMPLOYMENT OF FOREIGN DOMESTIC HELPERS IN HONG KONG.''
