MRS. GRACE Ho (in Cantonese): Mr. Chairman, I thank Mr. SHUM for his reply. From the Appendix, we can see that some of the stalls remain unlet and some of them are let for other purposes. The Bowrington Road market is one of the modern markets with all sorts of modern facilities, and in looking at the table, we can see that there are 52 stalls being used for storage purpose. I would like to have an explanation for that. Secondly, I would like to point out that in a densely populated area like Wong Tai Sin, there are 125 stalls in the market used for storage purposes, it is pointed out in the Appendix that this is because of hawkers hawking in the vicinity of the market, so would it be very difficult to improve the situation?
