Supplementary to Question No. 5 in the
Legislative Council on 24 July 1985
Mr. WONG Lam asked in Cantonese:
-
閣下好多謝行政司用粵語答覆我的問題, 我繼續想問政府用什麼方法去鼓勵能講 粵語的本局官守議員用粵語答覆問題呢?
(The following is the interpretation of what Mr. WONG Lam asked.)
Sir, I am very grateful to the Secretary for Administrative
for
Services and Information/answering my question in Cantonese,
but I would like to ask him what method would he be using to
encourage Official Members to answer the question in Cantonese ?
Secretary for Administrative Services and Information replied in
Cantonese:
主席先生,政府會不時提醒這些議員,假如 問題没有涉及專門性的事項,又如果他們 願意用粵語作答他們可以隨時這樣做。
(The following is the interpretation of what the Secretary for
Administrative Services and Information replied.)
The authorities will from time to time remind them that on
subjects of a non-technical nature, they are welcome to speak
in Cantonese if they so wish.
