The debate on a motion of thanks to his address this year will be
held on October 31 and November 14.
The Unofficials will speak on October 31 and if necessary the next
day (November 1), while the Officials will reply on November 14. An additional
day has also been reserved for the officials, should they need it.

DANGEROUS HILL SLOPE AT KWAI CHUNG TO BE REMOVED
*
Improvement work will soon be carried out on a rubble mound near
the bus terminus at Kwai Shing Estate in the Kwai Chung area.
Public Works Department engineers believe that the slope is too steep
and liable to collapse in the event of continuous heavy rain.
The improvement works will consist of cutting back the slope from
the existing gradient of 60 degrees to about 45 degrees.
The work will be carried out within the next few months and should
be completed before April next year, well before the summer rains.
