complaints received and dealt with by the Consumer Council were 1179 and by the
Hong Kong Tourist Association complaints of any substance were about 400. To put
this into perspective, Sir, in 1984 there were 3.15 million visitors to Hong Kong.

which government departmenthas the authority to take prosecution
action in such cases ?

Descriptions Ordinance this would be a matter for the Commissioner of Customs and
Excise.
