Enclosures

Aggregation of land by real estate developers is likely

to become less attractive, as the cash compensation will

be the minimum price at which exchange entitlements

can be bought. All these factors should encourage

the owners to accept cash. To assess the probable effect of

the newly proposed terms on future commitments, the

Working Group has prepared projections on the outstanding

commitments in two ways :

5.13

5.12.1 on the basis that all owners will choose

5.12.2

to take up the whole of the exchange

entitlements; and

on the basis that owners will choose

to take up half their exchange

entitlements.

The tables showing these projections, which are

at Enclosures 8 and 9, are based on the following

assumptions :

5.13.1

5.13.2

The Secretary for the New Territories'

projection of an annual resumption

commitment of about 10 million square

feet per annum;

that all forms of land from the private

sector will be acceptable as fulfilling

the Government's commitment to provide
