The spokesman said that these consultants had been picked

because of their experience in this kind of work.

The consultants' representatives have been specially intervieved

in London by Government officers, together with those of five other firms;

all of them, recommended by the British Consultants Bureau, specialised

in this field.

"Cremer and Warner and Parsons Brown and Partners," the spokesman

said, "are two British firms which have considerable experience of

environmental studies on oil refineries. They have made extensive surveys both for oil companies and for local authorities in many different parts

of the world."

It is understood that representatives of the firms will visit Hong Kong to begin field studies early in the New Year.
