Secretary for Health & Welfare :- Sir, controls on the disposal of farm waste
are being developed as subsidiary legislation under the Waste Disposal Ordinance.
The intention is to replace or try to replace the present practice whereby most
of such wastes are flushed into the streams with more sanitary means of waste
storage and disposal. And I hope it will be possible to bring forward such
legislation before the end of this year.
