abstract:The Secretary for the Civil Service is the head of the Civil Service Bureau in Hong Kong. Unlike other secretaries for bureaux, the Secretary for the Civil Service is filled by an administrative officer from the civil service, who may choose to return to the civil service when his term expires.
Which marks a tough moment for Sir Richard Wilson, who in January took over as head of thecivilservice and cabinet secretary from Sir Robin Butler, his punctilious, bewildered predecessor.
