HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL -8 March 1989
一九八九年三月八日 香港立法局

SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER: There are no formal arrangements with China. Of course, in appropriate cases, where it is a question. of obtaining evidence or whatever, one can informally obtain help from the Chinese authorities as appropriate. The number of labour disputes where this is believed to be the problem is comparatively small. Yes, there are some such cases, but the proportion of all labour disputes is well under 1 %. In fact last year it was about 0.7% of the cases.
MRS. FONG: Would the Administration advise whether there are provisions for the exchange of information between Hong Kong and China on crimes of this nature or otherwise; and what joint efforts exist between Hong Kong and China to apprehend criminals?
HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT: Only the first part is relevant to this particular original question. I will ask the Secretary to answer that part.
SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER: Sir, I am depending a bit on my memory here. When I was involved in this when I was in the Immigration Department, we used to have at that time meetings with the Chinese authorities in which we exchanged requests for information. I imagine that such meetings still continue but there may be others better informed on this than I am.
MRS. FONG: In the second part of my question I made a reference to criminals because I have assumed that an individual avoiding payment of arrears of wages and severance pay has contravened the labour law. If he should then be prosecuted as a criminal are there any joint efforts to apprehend him?
SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER: Sir, I understand the police do exchange information with authorities in China on questions of absconding criminals.
