The Working Group would like to acknowledge the

services of our Secretary, Mr. Michael M.Y. SUEN; our

keeping up with what became, on many occasions, intense

bilingual discussions; and Mr. Adrian So-sik of the New

Territories Administration who was in attendance at most

of our meetings to appraise the Working Group of the

current practices in New Territories land matters.
