Dear Shirley
HONG KONG HMOCS: ENTRY REQUIREMENT CONCESSIONS FOR JOINING THE HOME CIVIL SERVICE
1. Thank you for your letter of 30 April about which we spoke this morning.
2. The age concessions for HMOCS officers in
in Civil Service
Commission run recruitment schemes were abolished in 1982 and the concessions for qualifications in 1985. I enclose copies of the relevant correspondence as follows:

20 2 85

29 7 85
The concept of centralised recruitment has evaporated with all recruitment below Grade 7 delegated to individual departments. Furthermore there is a gradual move away, at basic grade entry levels, from relying exclusively on qualifications towards aptitude or competence based tests.
4.
I hope this is helpful to your negotiations.
Yours sincerely
