What has the Secretary for Transport learnt out of the
investigation of the incident on 4 June and the
investigation on the gas leak incident near the Lion

to ensure that we can eliminate the risk
of having 10 hours' congestion on the road in the future?
SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT:
Sir,
I think there are several
lessons to be learnt from these incidents. In the first
the Emergency Transport Control Unit in the
place,
Transport Department needs to be activated under
any circumstances wherever the major routes are affected,
including the two railways. The second point is that the
level of decision making has to be at the right level in
future. In the past, it tends to be below directorate level
and it does seem to us
it
that
it is necessary to escalate ito at least directorate level
atejto
or even higher in order to enable decisions to be made on the
spot as regards the arrangements for emergency transport.

The third point we learnt from this is that there should
be closer liaison and co-ordination of the senior levels
