YOUR TELNO 1161: GOVERNOR DESIGNATE: TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
1.
MANY THANKS FOR THIS HELPFUL INFORMATION. BEFORE I PUT THIS TO MR PATTEN, IT WOULD BE VERY USEFUL TO HAVE YOUR THOUGHTS ON 2 OTHER ISSUES:
PENSION. RICHARD HOARE TELLS ME THAT HONG KONG CIVIL SERVANTS ARE EITHER ON PENSIONABLE OR GRATUITY TERMS. DO YOU HAVE A VIEW ON WHICH WOULD APPLY TO THE NEW GOVERNOR?
—
ADVANCE OF SALARY. ARE THERE PROVISIONS FOR ADVANCES OF
SALARY OR TRANSFER GRANTS? I SEE THAT WHEN LORD WILSON WAS APPOINTED, HE WAS GIVEN, EXCEPTIONALLY, THE SAME TRANSFER GRANT AND ADVANCE OF ALLOWANCES AS WOULD APPLY TO A MID-RANKING AMBASSADOR. I WONDER WHAT THE POSITION NOW IS IN THE HONG KONG
CIVIL SERVICE?
