Joint Declaration:

Post Ratification Action Checklist

ianer

I refer to your letter of 31 October 1989

addressed to Miss Cherry Ling of General Duties Branch.

We have just completed an internal review on "Referrals of Appointments, Promotions etc. to the Secretary of

of State". Our recommendations are set out in paragraph 8 of the attached paper.

In the course of our review, we have considered whether or not referral to the Secretary of State should

be removed for applications for transfer to the permanent ferm Ext. establishment. However, we understand from some old ན་ correspondence (letters from FCO dated 23.7.74 and 22.1.75

Corld be

-refer

attached) that, except for the adminsitrative and police decided by cadres, expatriate officers recruited through London

НК Office do not have the qualification for HMOCS membership. HMOCS The procedure for Hong Kong Government to submit individual recommendations for transfer to the permanent establishment and for admission to HMOCS to FCO was devised to surmount the difficulty. In view of the above, we propose that we should leave things as they are for the time being but should be grateful if you would confirm if this position still stands.

Subject to your

agreement, we propose to implement these recommendations as soon as possible.
