DRAFT SPEECH BY HON MRS SELINA CHOW, OBE,/!
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL SITTING ON 11 5.2988
MRS. CHOW:
'Debate on Youth Policy'
Sir, in 1985, I was fortunate enough to serve with a group
of extremely enthusiastic and relatively young people in
a committee to co-ordinate the numerous celebrations staged by hundreds of organisations over the territory
in honour of the International Youth Year. One of
the more lasting recommendations that emerged was
that the focus on youth affairs should not be allowed to fade, and the impetus provided by the Year should serve as the momentum for a more concentrated effort
to determine and shape the Youth Policy most suited
to the needs of our community.

I would like to speak in support of it.
