Dear Geiss

Petition to the Queen: Mr HUNG Kai-ming

?

Your letter of 4 March 1991 addressed to Ms Anna KWONG of the Constitutional Affairs Branch has been referred to me for a reply.

Government

Colonial Regulation 54(3) provides

Officers

which

include

types of disciplinary awards that can be made to Hong Kong dismissal, compulsory retirement with pension, gratuity or other allowances, without such benefits or reduced benefits, fine, reduction in rank, severe reprimand, reprimand, stoppage or deferment of increments and reduction in salary.

For junior officers in the disciplined services, the forms

the forms of punishment are provided in the respective disciplined services legistation which are similar to those set out in CR 54(3).

A reprimand carries a debarring effect on an officer's promotion or appointment to another rank for two to three years; whereas that of a severe reprimand is three to five years. The punitive effects of other forms of punishment, I trust, are self-explanatory.

Yours sincerely, Batylling

(Miss Betty CHING)

for Secretary for the Civil Service
