NO PLANS FOR PERMANENT EXHIBITION SITE
Future Stadium In Hung Hom Will Be Suitable
The Government has no plans at present to provide a permanent
exhibition site for trade exhibitions, the Director of Public Works,
the Hon, J.J. Robson, said today.
He told the Legislative Council that in view of the acute
shortage of land in Hong Kong "it may be very difficult to justify
the permanent sterilisation of a large open area for this purpose."
Mr. Robson was replying to a question raised by the Hon. P.C.
Woo who wanted to know whether a permanent exhibition site would be
made available for trade displays such as the Chinese Manufacturers'
Association's annual exhibition.
The Director said he understood that there had already been
some discussions with the C.M.A. about such possible sites in the New
Territories,
However, the indoor stadium to be built at Hung Hon by 1976
would provide a suitable venue for such exhibitions to be held there
at an appropriate fee, he added.
