Now concerning the 13 THAS, you have broken your promise about demolishing them. And also, concerning the legality of the provisional legislature, still the UK Government has not pressed charges in court. But I am not going to speak on these issues, I want to talk about child IIs.
You said that you wanted to enhance publicity and you said that it's a problem with the snakeheads. But I don't think it is a problem with the snakeheads, I think the problem is this: the child IIs are the kids of Hong Kong parents and so whatever publicity you do in Mainland China it does not help because it is the parents in Hong Kong that are trying to bring them in from Mainland China. Every day you have a quota of 150; 66 of them would go to kids. And how are you going to distribute the 66 places? It is not Hong Kong that is responsible for distributing the 66 places, and if the parents are rich then they can buy the places.
Now, for the kids in Mainland China, they keep growing-up and so probably every time the children IIs are smuggled into Hong Kong they are probably only very young, either two or three years old.
Now you are about to leave Hong Kong and if you do not do anything, then the poor Hong Kong parents - I am not talking about the rich ones because they can afford to buy the one-way permits but for the poor Hong Kong parents, their kids will have to negotiate the ocean, chased by sharks or even thrown into the sea by snakeheads.

Now this is my suggestion, although I am not particularly intelligent. Now for the kids of Hong Kong parents, I think they should all be registered - like what the Housing Authority has done, producing a waiting-list. And so even if places are to be bought, still a queue has to be formed and people have to get into the queue, Otherwise the kids of poor parents will keep growing-up and they will be perpetually waiting because they have no rich parents to buy places for them.

Now Hong Kong is a place of rule of law but not in Mainland China, everything can be bought in China: places, quotas can be bought in China. And so before you leave Hong Kong - only 68 more days to go please do something for Hong Kong parents with kids in Mainland China, and with family members in Mainland China. Please register them all and please pass the information on to Mainland China, through the JLG or whatever avenue is appropriate, so that the Hong Kong Government can, in accordance with that particular list, receive immigrants from Mainland China. And also, the final vetting authority should rest with Mainland China. I think that is the solution to solve the children II problem. Publicity does not help. In Hong Kong we have rule of law. But not in Mainland China. Money can make things happen in Mainland China.
