Sir, you have asked me to emphasize that
these various changes are not intended to convert
the Hong Kong Industrial Estates Corporation into a
part of the Industry Department, or another department.
Indeed, I am to stress it is your intention that :
(a) the Chairman will remain an unofficial;
subject to the enactment of this Bill,
(b)
(c)
two additional members will be invited
to join the Board to give it an unofficial
majority;
all important decisions, including the
allocation of land, will continue to
be taken by the Board; and
(a)
the appointment of the Director of
Industry as Chief Executive of the
Corporation will be reviewed by 30 June
1986.

Sir, I move that the debate on this Bill
be now adjourned.
