FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO
DISCUSS MASS TRANSIT RAILWAY IN LONDON AND TOKYO
The Financial Secretary, Mr. C.P. Haddon-Cave, will visit London
and Tokyo shortly to discuss the proposed mass transit railway.
Commenting on these visits Mr. Haddon-Cave said: "The Government
has received a number of responses to the invitation, issued in July, for
interested groups to submit proposals for the financing of the mass transit
railway."
"The Mass Transit Steering Group, of which I am chairman, is still
in the process of examining these proposals which must obviously remain
confidential at this stage," he said. "The discussions which we will be
holding in London and Tokyo over the next few weeks, will be strictly
exploratory."
Mr. Haddon-Cave said that discussions had already been held in
Hong Kong with interested parties and that these would continue during the
next three to four weeks.
A spokesman for the Steering Group recalled that the Financial
Secretary announced in the Legislative Council last June that the decision
to proceed with the construction of the full mass transit railway was subject
to satisfactory arrangements being made for financing it and for letting
contracts.
