THE HONG KONG HMOCS, SCHEME

St

1. HMG have carefully considered how to make provision for HMOCS in the special circumstances of Hong Kong becoming an SAR of the People's Republic of China on 1 July 1997. The government have taken note of the representations they have

received from the members of the Association of HMOCS in Hong

Kong and other individual officers. They also recognise that members of HMOCS in Hong Kong wish to know as soon as possible the results of these deliberations. The issues are complicated and despite intensive work the process of drawing up proposals have taken longer than envisaged. The government are grateful for the sense of responsibility and patience shown by HMOCS
