Asked if
the
to take over the
Government would reconsider using Army
management of VBP detention centres, Sir
David noted that the Secretary for Security had said in the Legislative Council yesterday that we would not rule that out but it was not a step that we would like to take.
"We wouldn't want to take it before we absolutely
have to. We want to keep this as a civilian way of handling
it. I believe at the moment the Correctional Services and the
Police are quite capable of handling it.
"They have been
handling it with a great deal of
patience and common sense. I am sure they will go on doing
that," the Governor added.
