enhancing current pension entitlements under Hong Kong
pensions laws.

agreement terms to transfer to pensionable terms the officer
has the choice of transferring either when he is found
medically fit or at any time before the expiry of his current
contract.

consider an application from officers in the service of Hong
Kong for membership of HMOCS unless the officer concerned has,
in fact, transferred to pensionable terms by 31 March 1993. It is emphasised that this deadline applies only to
eligibility for membership of HMOCS and its consequences for
any scheme affecting members of HMOCS.
