HMOCS OVERALL STATISTICS
I spoke to Richard Plumb about the latest HMOCS statistics which were given to Mr Morris in Hong Kong last week.
1.
The
2. Mr Plumb agrees that the numbers which Hong Kong have given seem rather small in comparison to previous statistics.
ODA have been working on figures which Hong Kong supplied on 11 September 1992 and think that it is strange that the figures should have changed so much over one month. The September figures show:
Serving HMOCS members
775
However the ODA do not think that this figure includes potential HMOCS members which Hong Kong last gave as:
Judiciary
Admin
Police
Others
11 Nil
5
75
Total Number Potential HMOCS members = 91.
These figures seem very odd, especially given that we know that there are 84 potential members from the Police Force and 25 potential members from the Judiciary.
The ODA calculate that statistics for retirement before 30 June 1997 would be:
If the normal retiring age is 55 If the normal retiring age is 57 If the normal retiring age is 60
248
188
80
3.
Therefore the ODA's overall calculations differ somewhat from the new Hong Kong statistics:
Serving HMOCS officers
775
Potential HMOCS officers
91 +
Total
866
Max retiring before 1997
=
248
618
Potential members who may
retire naturally before 97 = 10
Total left in service
608
