ARE
AND
YOU MENTIONED THE QUESTION OF COFFEE. IN MY VIEW, WE COULD, IF WE TACKLED WITH THE OUTSTANDING ISSUES OVER THE AIRPORT IN THE WITH A COFFEE BREAK.
WHICH BUT THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES MORE COMPLICATED AND WHICH WILL TAKE LONGER. I THINK IT'S CONCEIVABLE THAT WE MAY HAVE TO SPEND A LITTLE LONGER TALKING
POLITICAL ABOUT
ISSUES,
BUT TAKE AN ISSUE WHICH I THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH QUITE SIMPLY
THE AND WITHOUT TOO MUCH OF A PROBLEM. AND THAT IS IMPORTANCE OF CO-OPERATING TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM OF SMUGGLING
SOME THE PROBLEM OF CROSS-BORDER CRIME. I THINK THAT EVERYONE KNOWS
FOR SMUGGLING BEYOND OUR BORDERS.
So, CENTRES
ONE OF THE OF THE
I WILL SAY TO MY COLLEAGUES IN THE
OF GOVERNMENT THINGS THAT
THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA IS THAT I AM VERY MUCH IN FAVOUR OF STRONG,
OF GOVERNMENT IN HONG KONG AND I AM IN FAVOUR EXECUTIVE-LED
ELSEWHERE AS WELL;
WE EXECUTIVE-LED GOVERNMENT
SO THAT, OPERATE AND SUCCESSFULLY DEAL WITH PROBLEMS LIKE SMUGGLING AND BORDER CRIME.
STRONG,
CAN CO- CROSS-
HONG
A
WHAT IS MY BOTTOM LINE, YOU ASKED, MY BOTTOM LINE IS TO GOVERN KONG FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS AS HONOURABLY AND HONESTLY AS POSSIBLE; MY BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE ELECTIONS IN 1995 SHOULD BE CONDUCTED IN WAY WHICH THE WHOLE COMMUNITY REGARDS AS FAIR AND EQUITABLE AND I VERY MUCH HOPE
EXECUTIVE THAT, AFTER I HAVE DEPARTED, THE CHIEF SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION WILL, AFTER HIS FIRST POLICY COME TO THE TOWN HALL IN SHA TIN AND ANSWER QUESTIONS ON IT.

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CHIEFLY REMEDIAL RATHER THAN DEVELOPMENTAL. EVENING, ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HERE MENTIONED THE OF DRUG-ABUSE AND YOU SAID IN RESPONSE THAT THERE WILL BE MORE
TACKLE THE PROBLEM

NO, I THINK THEY ARE NECESSARY.
I DO SAY QUITE A
BIT,
FIELD.
I THINK YOU'LL AGREE, ABOUT PREVENTIVE MEASURES IN THE HEALTH
I
THAT. SENDING INTO THAT IS AN BE
I DIDN'T SAY VERY MUCH ABOUT PREVENTIVE MEASURES IN THE SOCIAL WELFARE FIELD, BUT YOU'RE QUITE RIGHT TO STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF REFERRED EARLIER TO SOME OF THE TEAMS THAT WE'VE BEEN AREAS WHERE THERE IS A HIGH INCIDENCE OF JUVENILE CRIME, EXAMPLE OF THE SORT OF IMPORTANT PREVENTIVE MEASURES THAT HAVE TO TAKEN.
I
THAT HAVE TO SAY, IF I CAN ADD ONE FURTHER POINT, THINK THE PROPOSALS THAT WE'VE PUT FORWARD ON EDUCATION. FOR PROVIDING TEACHERS MORE MORE TEACHERS, FOR CUTTING CLASS SIZES AND FOR GIVING ΤΟ SPEND
FOR PREPARING TIME то SPEND WITH PUPILS AND MORE TIME
