The announcement of the allowance scheme was welcomed by Mr. Wong Man-yui,

Assistant Director (Cleansing), Urban Services Department.

Mr. Wong said: "I am very happy to hear that workers involved in this

unpleasant work will be compensated. This should help in recruiting staff for the

Cleansing Division which will be fully engaged in the months ahead with the

Clean Hong Kong Campaign'."

Mr. J.N. Black, Assistant Commissioner (Administration/Operations),

Resettlement Department, also welcomed the new arrangements. He said that among

those who would benefit from the allowance were workers who carry out unpleasant

and sometimes dangerous work, like the demolition of illegal structures.
