(b) Duration of Scheme
We assume that payments will be made over a 9 or 10 year period beginning in 1997. We are under no specific
obligation to make payments under the scheme for any particular length of time. In principle it would indeed be
possible for the scheme to run for a much shorter period.
But when the time comes to consult the Chinese it would be
difficult to claim that we were being sincere in working for
the smooth transfer of Government in 1997 if the scheme were
to run for say only 3 years. The whole purpose of the
scheme is to ensure that HMOCS members remain committed to
Hong Kong in the long term and continue to serve out their
careers there.
Costings for various forms of the scheme
2.
The costs for (a) a traditional General Compensation Scheme, (b) a modified compensation scheme and (c) an enhanced modified compensation scheme are set out below
using the three alternative projections for the number of
eligible HMOCS officers described in paragraph 1(a) above.
