Supplementary to Question No. 10 in the
Lislative Council on 13.11.85
Mr. CHENG Hon-kwan : Sir, in expediting its deliberation has the working party
-
actually come to the stage where appropriate departments or professional bodies
have been consulted on various issues involved ?
#t
Secretary for Lands and Works : Sir, the industry, the profession and relevant
government departments are represented in the working party. When the working party
has come to its conclusions, its report will be considered within the Administration
and will be passed to the Land and Building Advisory Committee for advice, in which
representative of the industry and the professions are also there.
Mr. S.L. Chen : Sir, when may we expect the conclusions from the working party?
Secretary for Lands and Works : - As indicated in my reply the tasks facing the
working party are involved and I do not expect a report, and an interim report
Į
at that, until next year.

Mr. F.K. Hu : Sir, can the Secretary for Lands and Works advise this Council
whether the working party has considered the position of those engineers who are
registered under the existing system with a view to meeting the new standard. Can
these engineers continue to work as registered engineer under the new system in
future ?
Secretary for Lands and Works : - This is a question the working party will no
doubt have to consider very carefully because people's practice are being involved and
I am sure the working party will take that into account.
