Mr. P. C. Woo to ask;

What was the total amount of legal fees payable to the 9 counsel

and the 9 firms of solicitors in the recent murder case in which 9 youths were charged with the murder of another youth in a gang fight? Why was it necessary to employ 9 counsel and 9 separate firms of solicitors in that case?

Mr. P. C. Woo to ask:

Referring to my speech during the debate on the second reading

of the Legal Aid Bill in 1986, will Government invite an official from the Law Society in England who has experience of legal aid to come to Hong Kong on contract for a short period of, say, 2 or 3 years to act as adviser in helping to set up the machinery for the administration of legal aid in Hong Kong? Will Government consider the employment of an experienced officer on contract from England to be the Director of Legal Aid?

Mrs. Elien Li to ask:

What precautionary measures are there to prevent stray animals

Mrs. Ellen Li to ask;

Is there any plan in view to improve the traffic flow around the

roundabout opposite the airport where vehicles criss cross one another in such chaotic conditions?

Mrs. Ellen Li to ask:

Is there any plan in sight for establishment of training/vocational

facilities to prepare girls for employment in industries and is Government prepared to assist voluntary agencies financially to increase such facilities?

Mr. G. W. Lee to ask:

Since I am informed that the maximum effective height of the

turn-table ladders used by our Fire Brigade is only 90 feet, what are the effective means of fighting fires that break out in premises of higher levels? As there are so many multi- storey commercial and residential buildings in the Colony, will the Government please comment on this matter as regards public safety as well as on the adequacy of the existing fire prevention installation requirements to cope with fire in the upper part of high buildings ?
