refer this to the relevant authorities.
MR.

Sir, how many food business operators have
been successfully prosecuted under the Public Health and
Municipal Ordinance in the past two years? And in this
period have there been cases of repeated offences
resulting in the cancellation of the Business Registration
Zertificate?
SE CRE TARY FOR HEAL TH AND WELFARE:
sir, over the last
three years, there were 12 prosecutions for wrapping open
food with unclean paper.
There was,
however, no
prosecution for using unclean or unsuitable containers for
food. As regards repeated offences, I am sorry I do not
have that figure in hand and shall write to Mr. YE UNG.
