Speech by the Commissioner for Labour

at the resumed debate on the Second Reading of the Protection of Wages on Insolvency Bill 1985

in the Legislative Council on 3 April 1985

Sir,

I would like to thank Mr. K. C. Chan for his warm

support for this Bill.

I would also like to take this opportunity to mention

that I will be moving Committee Stage amendments to Clause 18

of the Bill. The amendments proposed are of a purely technical

nature and have been drafted, on legal advice, to bring the

wording of Clause 18 of the Bill more in line with that of

Clause 16 and corresponding provisions in the Bankruptcy

No change of substance in the intention of the

Bill is involved.

Ordinance.
