Supplementary to Question No. 10 in the
Legislative Council on 23 January 1985
Mr. Stephen Cheong:- Sir, could the Secretary for Lands and Works be kind
enough to inform this Jouncil which particular computer system is responsible
for the regulation of ventilation according to traffic flow?
Secretary for Lands and Works:- It is the toll collection computer which
counts traffic flow as well. So it is from that information that you can
regulate the speed of the fan.
Mr. Stephen Cheong:- Is it therefore true that because of the bugs involving
the toll collection computer system that the intended savings of regulations
of fans and so on has not been onerating smoothly?
Secretary for Lands and Works:- At the present level of traffic volume, it
is not necessary, in fact, to turn on the fans most of the time. Therefore
the question of controlling the fans does not arise. It is only when traffic
volume has built up to perhaps double the present amount that we will need
Centre &
to introduce the fans.
Meanwhile as the problem with this
particular computer are being solved, we have decided to introduce interim
measures for the control of the fans
