Section of the CG would need to be ready for occupation on 1 January 1996. The UK and some local staff will also have to be en poste at that time with the balance balance of staff arriving in March 1996. If the CG building is not ready HKID thinks there could be the possibility of us temporarily taking over existing accommodation for a few months. But they will need very early notification if this is required as the nearer we get to 1996/97 the more problems there will be.

They do not foresee redundancies within HKID but believe there is more likely to be openings on the passport side of the work rather
than visa. An alternative may be temporary secondment of
staff to us from 96 until final handover to China in 97. I
indicated that we would be interested in local staff, although they would have to meet the normal recruitment procedures and that 4 or 5 of the 12 ECOS could be recruited from existing HKID IOS (they will have the advantage of being Chinese
speakers).
