Mrs, Selina Chow mentioned the confusion of social
values among young people. She attributed this partly to the
influence of unreal characterisation on television. Guidelines
are set out by Government on what is considered suitable for
broadcast and programmers are asked to exercise vigilance,
especially during family viewing hours.
The years between innocence and experience are
character forming. While we would wish to impart ideals of
what the world should be, our children should also know what
the real world is like.

Mr. Chan Ying-lun referred to the harm caused to
young minds by violent and sexually explicit comic books and
videotapes. I can assure Mr. Chan that Government is determined
to take action against vendors of such material. We shall
continue to refer offensive material to the Obscene Articles
Tribunal which was established in September last year. We shall
also be appealing to District Boards, School Authorities and
outreach social workers for assistance.

Sir, I support the motion.
