NATURE CONSERVATION FOR N.T. AND H.K. ISLAND
The Finance Committee of Legislative Council will soon be asked
to approve funds for recreational development and nature conservation in
the New Territories and on Hong Kong Island.
The Colonial Secretary, the Hon. Sir Hugh Norman Walker, said
combined proposals of the two advisory committees would shortly be submitted
to the Finance Committee.
He said the Committee would be invited to consider the financial
implications of the two programmes, These involved approximately $25 million
in capital expenditure over five years and a recurrent commitment of about
$3.3 million per annum, which was subject to re-assessment and
review.
The Colonial Secretary was replying to a question by the Hon.
H.J.C. Browne, who had asked if any decisions had been made "on the
recommendations of the Advisory Committees for Recreational Development
and Nature Conservation for the New Territories and for Hong Kong Island,
and if so what action is proposed?"
