There is another issue which I suppose is relevant to what the Honourable Member has said and that is a disagreement between the representatives of employers and the trade unions about the effect of the importation of labour and the argument which is put by some trade union representatives that employers don't use the importation of labour scheme in the way that was intended. Now that is an argument which I think we need to have out in the open in the community and try to resolve. It obviously has some bearing on the specific point which the Honourable Member was suggesting as a way of dealing with growing local unemployment if that is happening. But I repeat, we've seen a couple of months of bad-ish figures here in Hong Kong and I think we want to be a bit clearer on whether we're seeing the beginning of a trend or whether it is just something short term. If it is a trend, then we need to act.
Mrs Miriam Lau: Mr Governor, I wish to return to the question of services for the mentally-handicapped. In your answer to Mr Lee Cheuk-yan earlier on, you mentioned that there is hostility in parts of the community to the establishment of homes for the severely mentally-handicapped - you mentioned that one - yes, right. My question is, what has the Government done to promote the public image of the mentally-handicapped, particularly the severely mentally-handicapped? It seems to me that the movie 'Forrest Gump' which is still on show I think, has done more than the Government to promote a positive image for the mentally-handicapped. And if there is that much resistance from the community, so much so that it is delaying the provision of services, shouldn't the Government be doing more in this area?
Governor: Well, I'm perfectly content to take second place to Tom Hanks. I must say, having seen the film myself, I'm not sure whether it's the hero who is mentally- handicapped or the rest of us because he seems to behave in an eminently sane and rational way for much of the film. To be serious, the Honourable Member is entirely right to argue that this problem does need more public education. Of course we are right to follow the lead given by the Honourable Member and introduce legislation to ban discrimination, that's an important part of the educational process. But I think there is a positive aspect to this as well. I have tried, for example in my programmes of visits, to make sure that I visit as many centres - training centres, day-care centres, hostels for the mentally-handicapped as possible and doubtless I could do more and will be able to do more. But there is a role for all of us. I think the Health and Welfare Department have been taking an active role in this but frankly, we have some way to travel still in the community. Not as far as Forrest Gump ran but certainly some way to travel in order to ensure that the handicapped, not just the mentally- handicapped but all handicapped people, all people with a disability, get the fair chance in our society which they deserve.
Mrs Miriam Lau: Mr President, will the Governor ensure that when overseas dignitaries such as Princess Diana comes around to Hong Kong, arrangements will be made for these dignitaries to not only watch tennis but also to make visits and trips to day-care centres and similar institutions?
