*****************************************************************
     The Advisory Committee on Post-office Employment for Former Chief Executives and Politically Appointed Officials has advised on the proposed employment of Mr Tam Chi-yuen, former Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, and Ms Chan Hoi-yan, former Political Assistant to the Secretary for Food and Health, after their departure from the Government on July 1, 2017.

     The Advisory Committee considers and advises on the post-office employment or appointment for former politically appointed officials. In considering each case, the Advisory Committee has regard to the information provided by the former politically appointed official concerned, the assessments by relevant government bureaux or offices, and the criteria for advice as stipulated in the guidance note on post-office employment for politically appointed officials.

     The membership of the Advisory Committee is as follows:

Professor Liu Pak-wai (Chairman)
