the compilation with the help of a computer of relevant information on
land lots all over Hong Kong.
"The information gathered would be invaluable for demographic

also to the public. In particular, the data system would be of benefit
to those professionally concerned with land development," the spokesman

The system would also be of service to a number of government
departments which are occupied with land problems, such as the Land Office
of the Registrar General's Department, in addition to the Crown Lands and
Survey Office and the Buildings Ordinance Office of the P.W.D.
