Mr. Wilfred Wong to ask :

As it will become a statutory requirement from 1st January 1969 for every boller or steam receiver to be operated under the supervision of a competent person, is Government satisfied that there are sufficient competent persons available and, if not, what does it propose to do?

Mr. Szeto Wai to ask :

Some years ago I brought to the attention of this Council the

hazards and unsightliness created by the projection of large advertisements and neon signs from buildings for considerable distances over roadways and was informed by the then Hon. Director of Urban Services that the Urban Council Advertisements Bye-Laws were in the course of being revised.

Will Government inform this Council what progress has since

been made on the revision of these bye-laws, and what are the regulations now in force governing the installation of these signs with particular reference to their permissible distance of projection over roadways?

In view of the recent announcement by the University Grant

Committee regarding control of proposed student numbers at our two Universities, can the Government say whether there will be any increased opportunities of higher education for those many young people who now need, in the interests of Hong Kong's development, a wide range of specialised courses at post-secondary level; and if so, how soon may a public statement be expected?
