Dr S. Y. Chung to ask:

7

Will Government provide figures for

(a)

the number of initial applications received for the setting up of industrial undertakings in 1969 and 1970 (given separately for each year);

(b)

(c)

the number of those applications which have since resulted in a factory licence being issued;

in respect of the successful applications, the average number of days which elapsed between the initial application being received and the issue of a factory licence;

and in the light of the figures will Government explain the reasons where there have been undue delays in the issue of licences?

Dr S. Y. Chung to ask :

In view of the fact that only 12 out of the 228 firm enquiries dealt

by the Department of Commerce and Industry during the past five years eventually resulted in the setting up of manufacturing operations in Hong Kong, will Government explain the reasons for such a low percentage of success and take steps to improve the rate of success in the future?
