SECRETARY FOR ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AND INFORMATION :
Sir, at the first meeting we were each told to go away and
do our individual work. For example, the Secretary of
Lands and Works was asked to investigate into the question
of possible sites. Other Secretaries were instructed to
deal with other
of the project such as
aspects
air-transport, finance and so on.
And this is why I say
work is not being delayed; it takes time for these answers
to
come back and it is right for the Chief Secretary, I
think, to hold another meeting shortly to get answers from
various officials involved. I can assure Mr. CHEONG that
there is no intention whatsoever to kill the project.
Quite to the contrary, we are working enthusiastically,
carefully and thoroughly, with a view to seeing whether or
not the project, in fact, is feasible.
