CHONG HING MANSION REPORT MADE PUBLIC
The report of the Committee of Inquiry into the closure of Chong Hing
Mansion was made public today.
The first part of the report deals with the question of whether any
further assistance should be given by the Government to those affected, in
addition to the offer of resettlement.
In a summary of its findings on this first term of reference, the
Committee expressed the opinion that the public officers concerned at the time
of occupation acted "inadvisedly". The Committee felt therefore that there was
a "moral justification for helping those tenants to whose loss the Government's
action contributed".
It went on to say that the Government had already met this in part by
offering resettlement to domestic tenants.
However, the Committee felt that there was also moral justification for
additional help to those carrying on businesses in shops, staircase shops,
workshops or commercial undertakings if no further payments were made by the
Liu Chong Hing Bank Limited.
