Numbers of HMOCS Members likely to be involved

ANNEX

A

Since it is very difficult to predict accurately how many HMOCS

members will remain to benefit from the scheme, this Annex sets out

worst, medium and best case scenarios.

now.

Taking account only of natural retirement, by 1997 there will be

about 500 HMOCS members left of the

who have that status

In addition there are currently

civil servants with the

right to become HMOCS members. By 1997, taking account only of

national retirement, there would be some 390 officers who could opt

to become HMOCS members. Thus if all these officers decided to stay

on and none decided to resign, die or otherwise leave the service,

the maximu number of HMOCS members in the service in 1997 would be

890. This would clearly indicate a very "stable and prosperous"

Hong Kong and a very favourable deal for HMOCS members.

The "best" case scenario would thus involve 890 officers receiving

compensation in 1997. Thereafter, the best case scenario would

assume that officers only left on natural retirement. Actual

calculations based on officers ages indicates that the numbers would

reduce as follows:-

1988 851

1990 820

2000 789

2001

750

2002

705

2003

665

609

2004 09

2005 564

2006514

The worst case scenario is more difficult to predict. In this, one

should assume that the situation in Hong Kong is poor. (We should not assume a disaster since HMG might well then have to pick up a
