SECOND, WE MUST BE TOLD WHAT PLANS THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT IS DRAWING UP TO COPE WITH THE CONTINGENCY OF AN ACCIDENT AT DAYA BAY, HOWEVER UNLIKELY THE CHANCE OF IT HAPPENING.
+
THIRD WE MUST LET THE PEOPLE OF HONG KONG KNOW HOW THEY STAND TO BENEFIT FROM A SUPPLY OF ELECTRICITY FROM A NUCLEAR PLANT IN CHINA.
+LET THEM SEE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY STAND TO GAIN FROM DAYA BAY AND HOW THE COMMUNITY WOULD MANAGE WITHOUT IT,+ MISS DUNN URGED.
MISS DUNN SAID THE CONFIDENCE OF THE ORDINARY MAN WILL NOT BE WON OR LOST ON THE OUTCOME OF TODAY'S DEBATE.
+HIS JUDGEMENT WILL BE RESERVED. HE WILL CONTINUE TO ASSESS BUT I HAVE FAITH IN THE GOOD SENSE OF PEOPLE IN HONG KONG TO REACH THEIR OWN CONCLUSIONS IF THEY ARE GIVEN THE FACTS.+ SHE SAID. +THIS COUNCIL MUST HELP THEM TO OBTAIN THAT MATERIAL FROM ALL THE PARTIES INVOLVED.+
MISS DUNN SAID LEGISLATIVE COUNCILLORS ALSO SOUGHT ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS. SOME MEMBERS HAD ALREADY OFFERED ANSWERS, AND NOT SURPRISINGLY HAD NOT ALWAYS AGREED.
+OUR DIFFERENCES OF VIEW ARE ALSO GENUINE AND HONESTLY HELD, SHE SAID. +ALL OF US WANT NOTHING MORE THAN THE BEST FOR THE PEOPLE OF HONG KONG.+
HKNIC SHOULD KEEP GOVERNMENT INFORMED ****
THE HONG KONG NUCLEAR INVESTMENT COMPANY (HKNIC) SHOULD BE ASKED TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT FULLY INFORMED AT ALL TIMES ON THE OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE DAYA BAY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT.
THIS WAS SUGGESTED BY THE HON S.L. CHEN WHEN SPEAKING ON THE MOTION ON THE DAYA BAY ISSUE IN THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TODAY (WEDNESDAY).
MR CHEN SAID HE WAS GLAD TO NOTE FROM THE REPORTS OF THE FACT-FINDING DELEGATIONS THAT HIS CONCERN ON THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PLANT FROM THE SAFETY POINT OF VIEW, AS EXPRESSED DURING THE ADJOURNMENT DEBATE IN JULY, HAD BEEN FULLY AND ADEQUATELY DEALT WITH.
