service.
Additional
information
about performance,
commendations, etc provided by the services themselves would also
be incorporated. A list of applicants ranked in order of points
scored would then be produced by HKID for examination by the
Steering Group who would recommend any necessary adjustments in
the special circumstances points for each service.
After any
necessary further adjustments a list of those candidates who
appeared to be qualified and those who seemed likely to be
rejected would be submitted to the Steering Group for scrutiny.
Thereafter, procedures would be as outlined in paragraphs 21-24
above. The normal good character requirements would apply.
Sensitive Service Section
31. This section would allow up to 6,300 people who had, in the
course of serving Hong Kong and United Kingdom interests in
either a civilian or military role, been exposed to special
considerations and special factors during the course of their
duties. Existing arrangements to safeguard the interests of some of these people, which have been in place for some years, would be subsumed by this section of the scheme.
Procedure
32. Many of the individuals concerned would have already been
identified by virtue of their rank, position and area of work and
would be invited to submit applications to the Hong Kong
Government. Once the information had been verified, HKID would
scrutinise the applications and, if all was in order, the names
would then be submitted to the Governor who, if satisfied, would
recommend them to the Home Secretary for registration. The usual
good character requirements would apply.
33.
Certain people might qualify for inclusion in this scheme
on the basis of information coming to the notice of the Governor
