REGISTRATION OF PERSONS OFFICE EXPANSION PLAN
E
The Commissioner of Registration, Mr. A. Chapman, today outlined
his department's plans for future expansion.
Speaking at the opening of the new Registration of Persons Sub-
office in Tai Po, he said that a long-term programme had been drawn up to
provide the public with adequate and convenient registration facilities.
"Registration facilities will be provided in other parts of
Hong Kong, such as the new townships at Shatin and Tuen Mun, as the need
arises," he said.
Referring to the new Sub-office in Tai Po, Mr. Chapman said it
was the fifth office of the department and that arrangements were in hand
to open a similar office in the Western District of Hong Kong Island.
The new Sub-office will serve the residents in Tai Po and those
in the surrounding areas of the New Territories.
