Question 6 Page
MR.SQHMEM: Sir, does the fact that Hong Kong has two
separate power companies to supply electricity to the
Territory have any bearing on the reduction of the risk
of large-scale power failures in Hong Kong?
FINANCIAL SECRETARY : Undoubtedly, Sir. The fact that
there are two companies does provide some measure of
comfort. The supplies are inter-connected as Mr. SOHMEN
knows, and if there is a failure in one supply, it can
sometimes be made good by the other.
