The report will be on sale by the end of February at the Government Publications Centre, Queensway Government Offices, Low Block, ground floor, 66 Queensway, and at the Publications Section of the Census and Statistics Department, 19th floor, Wanchai Tower, 12 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, at $86 a copy.
Enquiries on the survey results may be directed to the Trade Surveys and Research Section of the Census and Statistics Department on telephone 2582 5037.
