MRS TU REITERATED THAT THE HAWKER REPORT WAS NOT AN URBAN COUNCIL DECISION DOCUMENT, BUT SIMPLY A REPORT CONTAINING THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE WORKING PARTY ITSELF.
+NONE OF THE PROPOSALS CAN BECOME POLICY UNTIL THEY ARE FULLY DISCUSSED BY THE WHOLE COUNCIL, SHE SAID.
SHE ALSO STRESSED THAT THE WORKING PARTY HAD INITIALLY CONSULTED ALL DISTRICT BOARDS AND MANY GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS, AND WOULD CONTINUE TO LIAISE WITH THEM.
CONCERNING THE CONSULTATION PERIOD, MRS TU SAID THAT WHILE THERE WAS NO DEADLINE, THE SOONER POLICIES WERE FORMULATED, THE BETTER.
+WE HOPE TO HAVE THE DISTRICT BOARDS' VIEWS WITHIN TWO OR THREE MONTHS, SHE ADDED.
ALSO TAKING PART IN THIS AFTERNOON'S BRIEFING WERE WORKING PARTY MEMBER MR KWAN LIM-HO, THE DEPARTMENT'S DEPUTY DIRECTOR, MR JOHN HEYWOOD, AND MR OWEN BROADLEY, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR (HAWKERS).
