To ask the Secretary of State/HMG;
if he will make a statement on the conditions prevailing in the Agirculture and Fisheries cattle holding depot in Hong Kong.
MR. EGGAR
Conditions at the Agriculture and Fisheries Department holding depot at Ma Tau Kok are adequate. But the buildings
which comprise the depot are old and the Hong Kong Government have begun renovative work which should be completed later this
year. The depot is not overcrowded. Average occupancy in
the past year has been well within capacity. The cattle
holding areas are washed down twice a day. There is no
evidence that the depot is a health hazard.
