"BUT TO PUT IN HUSE FACILITIES - FOR INSTANCE TO BUILD ROADS UP TO VILLAGES WHERC ONLY A FEW PEOPLE NOW LIVE IN
IS VERY EXPENSIVE IN COMPARISON WITH WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN A CONCENTRATED URBAN AREA."
SIR DAVID SAID THERE WERE A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS INVOLVED IN THE PROVISION OF MORE FACILITIES FOR OLD VILLAGES.
ONE OF THEM THAT HAD BEEN EXPLAINED ΤΟ HIM WAS THE PROBLEM ABOUT SMALL HOUSE POLICY, WHICH WAS A POLICY THAT APPLIED OVER THE WHOLE TERRITORY.
SIR DAVID SAID HE HAD BEEN IN TAI PO MANY TIMES WHEN HE LIVED IN HONG KONG BEFORE, BUT THAT HE HAD NEVER DONE A TOUR OF THE NEW TAI PO.
