LICENCE NUMBER FOR URBAN COUNCIL
Draft legislation will shortly be submitted to the Executive Council
to enable special car numbers to be issued to the two official cars used by
the chairman and members of the Urban Council.
Revealing this in the Legislative Council today, the Colonial
Secretary, the Hon. Sir Hugh Norman-Walker, said that the numbers envisaged
were UC1 and UC2, but these had not yet been issued.
The AM series, which is used solely for government vehicles, he
said, was not thought appropriate for use by the chairman and members of the
Urban Council and the UC prefix would clearly denote the connection of the
vehicles purchased by the Urban Council with that body.
Sir Hugh was replying to a question from the Hon. Szeto Wai who
asked if the government could confirm that UC1 had been issued to an official
car of the Urban Council.
