P.02/02
Seventh paragraph: replace as follows:
"Our Legal Consultant's advice is that, if challanged on a judicial revue, we could justifiably maintain that there is no past practice for HMG safeguarding the sterling value of pensions on a change of sovereignty and, therefore, no grounds for such an expectation as regards any pensionable officer. And, so far as we are aware, nothing has been said by or on behalf of HMG in relation to the Hong Kong public service which can be construed as giving any one other than members of HMOCS grounds for believing that HMG will provide any benefits or seek any further safeguards other than those set out in the JD."
