Section 18. In fact, the spirit of the motion will still be carried if it is discussed at the relevant Select Committee. The only thing is that no vote will be taken today.
Those in favour of Mr. CHUNG's motion to refer the matter to the Public Health Select Committee, please raise your hands.
The motion was carried with 13 votes in favour, 12 against and 2 in abstention.
(See annex A for a record of the votes on Mr. CHUNG's motion.)
CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): With 13 votes in favour, 12 against and 2 in abstention, the motion to close the debate and defer the motion is carried. I hope the original mover will refer his motion to the Public Health Select Committee for discussion.
Before I adjourn the meeting, Mr. Ip Kwok-chung, Chairman of the Markets and Street Traders Select Committee would like to make a clarification in connection with Ms. Ada WONG Ying-kay's question 3 on the difference in numbers of IHL(FC) holders in recreation sites. Mr. Ip has checked and found the figure should be 19 instead of 0-30. As this is to be included in the official records, Mr. IP has asked me to clarify on his behalf. I think the request is appropriate. So let us put in the official records the figure 19 instead of 0-30.
The meeting is adjourned. The next meeting will resume at 2.30 p.m. on 13.5.1997 (Tuesday). Thank you.
Adjournment - 4.18 p.m.
