Supplementary to question No. 2 in the
Legislative Council on 23 January 1985
Dr. HO Kan-fai :- Sir, I thank the Secretary for Housing for the comprehensive
answer, but may I ask the Government to consider giving the affected tenants an
ex-gratia allowance adequate for the refurbishing of a new home and moving and
also seeking school places for the children for those who have to move out of
the Tsuen Wan area?
Secretary for Housing :- Sir, as I said in my last part of the answer the
removal allowances are actually under review and such expenses as removal of
telephones and so on will be taken into consideration. Also tenants will/moved ¡ n
to an estate of their choice and in many cases it will be nearby; therefore the
question of schools may not arise but where the need exists, every effort will be
made to assist the tenants.
