DEPUTIES MAKE JOINT VISIT
In a novel joint venture the Deputy heads of two government
departments together toured the San Po Kong premises of Sonca Industries
today (Wednesday).
Mr. Ian Price, Deputy Commissioner of Labour, and Mr. H. Williams,
Deputy Director of Commerce and Industry, spent the afternoon touring the
factory which, apart from being a leading manufacturer of electrical
appliances and components, also has a well-equipped apprentice training
centre.
Said Mr. Williams, who was with the Labour Department before
moving to Commerce and Industry, "This type of excercise helps to maintain
close co-operation between our two departments although our respective
apporaches are from different angles."
For Mr. Price, it was an opportunity to see first hand a physical
aspect of his department's work.
He said: "Inevitably I get deskbound for much of the time in my job
and I think it important to get some insight into the general roles of
management and worker."
