Most grants of this type have to be submitted to the Executive Council for approval.

Commenting on the grants, a Government spokesman said that except

for recreational leases, the urban zone Crown rent or the standard New

Territories Crown rent was payable for the land.

He added that conditions were imposed to ensure adequate development

of the land and that there was provision to re-enter the land if it was

not properly used.

The scale of charges varies from nil premium for projects auch

as hospitals and homes for the aged, to one-third of makret value for housing schemes and two-thirds of market value for churches and temples.
