# The Hong Kong (Overseas Public Servants) (Pension Supplements) (Amendment) Order 1998, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the 1996 Order in two respects. The original provision for calculating the protected pension of an orphan did not adequately reflect the provisions of the relevant Hong Kong law; this is corrected in article 3(b) and (c).
Article 3(a) and the Schedule (Head G) replace the provision for certain pensioners who had both government and other public service in Hong Kong (under the Hong Kong Polytechnic) to reflect more adequately the periods in government service, and to provide a more appropriate safeguard in respect of pensions granted for such service.
