The following is the full text of the Governor's speech:
"It is a great honour for me today to review the St. John Ambulance Brigade for the first time.
"The Brigade has a world-wide reputation for dedicated service. In Hong Kong, its work has been of immense value to the community.
"I understand that the Brigade put in almost 100,000 man hours during 1972 at public occasions alone and this was out of the free time of members.
"This demand for your services will increase, as people have more time to spend on recreation and leisure.
