HONG KONG GOVERNMENT SECRETARIAT LOWER ALBERT ROAD HONG KONG
HONG KONG 1 HMOCS MATTERS
As you will be aware we wil1 soon be discussing further with Treasury the position of Hong Kong HMOCS members in the light of the transfer of sovereignty in 1997.
2. As the cost estimates and Statistical data we recently submitted to Treasury were largely based on data first provided by the Hong Kong Government Secretariat in October 1988, we think it would now be useful to update our database in order that we may further refine our figures. To help us achieve this, could you please provide the following information:
(1) A list of currently serving HMOCS officers, showing their name; date of birth: date of appointment to the permanent and pensionable service; present grade and salary; maximum of existing, Aşlary scale. Previous estimates have included a 15% allowance to take account of anticipated promotions prior to 1997. Is this still appropriate, would it be possible to refine the data by giving a projected grade and salary for those officers likely to be promoted?
M
(ii) A list of Contract officers who are eligible to transfer to HMOCS, showing the same details requested for serving HMOCS officers.
3. From these lists can you lease identify the officers who will be affected by the Limited Compensation Scheme and the Police Special Branch Scheme. If it is not practicable to provide the names of the officers could you please provide an estimate of the numbers and grades likely to
be involved.
4.
The individual compensation factors quoted in the lists provided by the Hong Kong Government in October 1988 appear to concur with the factors set out table I (b) of the Limited Compensation Scheme. Can you please confirm that this is the case, and what considerations were taken into account in determining that these were the most appropriate factors to use for the exercise.
5. Can you please also supply a list of all current HMOCS pensioners, showing name; date of birth; Hong Kong payment reference number; date of retirement; annual basic pension; Hong Kong increases awarded since retirement; total annual pension.
