1. It has been decided in the interests of public health that, as soon 25 practicable, the slaughtering of meat in Tsuen Wan should be brought to an end. Facilities will be provided at the Government slaughter-house in Ma Tau Kok for the slaughtering for meat for consumption in Tsuen Wan. The date for the commencement of these new arrangements is dependent upon the availability of Government vehicles for the transport of ment from Ma Tau Kok to Tsuen Wan, but it is envisaged that the new arrangements will come into operation early next year.
