Turning to Mr. Yeung's final question,
industrial waste waters are in general treated and disposed
of together with municipal sewage. The current programme
for the provision of treatment and disposal facilities for
these combined waste waters includes the construction of
a total of 34 screening plants with submarine outfalls and
treatment plants between 1983 and 1993 at a cost of about
$3,200 million.

In addition, we are planning to introduce shortly
legislative controls on the composition of industrial waste
waters in specific water control zones by means of regulations
to be enacted under the Water Pollution Control Ordinance.
Specific controls on toxic wastes are also under consideration.
