MRS. TAM : Sir, since the Administration is now actively
studying the
feasibility of Hong
Hong Kong hosting a world
exhibition, have any problems relating to the organisation
of the Expo in Hong Kong so far been
far been identified? And if
so, what are they?
SECRETARY FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE
SERVICES AND INFORMATION :
Sir, we have had one meeting under the chairmanship of the
Chief Secretary
Secretary involving all the Secretaries concerned
with the subject matters that might conceivably be covered
in such a study. We will be having another meeting
shortly. At this stage, Sir, it is too early to say
whether any problems are going to arise.
MR. CHEONG Sir, I cannot understand why the Secretary
cannot give this Council a timetable for the completion
because after a few weeks they have only had one meeting.
Can I seek an assurance from the Secretary that this is
not going to be a delaying tactic deployed to kill the
idea in its infancy?
