has been given to that. I can give some examples. There were management consultants appointed and work was done at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the Kowloon Government Offices, and Kai Tak Airport. As a result, energy saving measures have been implemented on various buildings and installations. Kai Tak Airport is one of the most successful examples. The energy-saving measures included the replacement of 25% of the air-conditioning main chiller plant by more efficient equipment plus the installation of a centralized switching system for the terminal lighting and air-conditioning and auxilliary plant. This has saved some 12 million units of electricity in 1984 alone, which is the equivalent of about $7 million. There are a number of other energy-saving successes Mirror Tower Building, a saving of $260,000 per annum, and if Mr. Peter WONG wishes, I can write to him giving more details. (Annex II)
PROF. POON: Sir, I understand that a government working party has quite recently completed a report on energy conservation. Will the Secretary inform this Council of the major recommendations of that report, and will these recommendations be seriously considered?
FINANCIAL SECRETARY: Sir, I am afraid I do not have with me the results from that working party, but I will give a written reply to Professor POON. (Annex III)
MR. EDWARD HO: Sir, I am glad that the Financial Secretary said that the Government is conscious of energy saving. Would the Secretary inform this Council whether Government is prepared to review daylight saving hours once again this year?
FINANCIAL SECRETARY: Sir, I understand that that was reviewed fairly recently and there was a general view in the community which did not suggest that this would have popular support. But I will once again consider whether it is worth doing anything about it. But I think it was fairly recent.
