Speech by the Attorney General, Mr. Michael Thomas, Q.C.
Fire Services (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 1986
25 June 1986
Sir,
I wish to thank Mr. CHEONG-LEEN for his support for the Fire Services (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 1985. I also wish to assure him that, there is no plan to charge for any services presently provided by the Fire Services Department, apart from the examination, inspection and registration procedures for fire service installation contractors which I explained when moving the second reading of this Bill. If any new service is provided,
I can assure Honourable Members that the Director of Fire Services and the Policy Branch concerned would not propose the introduction of charges without considering the question fully and carefully with Mr. CHEONG-LEEN's points very much in mind.
