TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1975
+LAND IS EXCHANGED ACCORDING TO THE LENGTH OF TIME THE OFFER OF AN EXCHANGE HAD BEEN OUTSTANDING IN SITU EXCHANGE IS NOT PERMITTED SINCE THIS WOULD GRANT SOME OWNERS MORE FAVOURABLE TREATMENT THAN OTHERS.+
MR. AKERS-JONES ENDED HIS LETTER BY STATING THAT THE CLEARANCE ARRANGEMENTS WERE +A CLEAR INDICATION OF THE EFFORT MADE BY THE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND VARIOUS GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS TO ASSIST SO FAR AS IS POSSIBLE IN THE MOVE TO LEK YUEN. THESE ARRANGEMENTS COMPARE VERY FAVOURABLY WITH MANY OTHER SIMILAR CLEARANCES FOR DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES ELSEWHERE IN HONG KONG FOR WHICH MANY SHOPS HAVE HAD TO MOVE.+
