NEW FORMAT FOR GOVERNMENT GAZETTE
The Hong Kong Government Gazette is changing its format with
effect from the next issue on Friday (January 4).
The main change will be in the size of the gazette and its
supplements. They will now be printed in standard metric size (A5)
which is slightly smaller than the present size.
A government spokesman said today that the reduction would
result in a saving of paper as well as furthering the government's policy
of adopting the metric system.
In the past it had been necessary for the Government Printer to
stock a supply of non-standard size paper which was not economic wuxi,
in view of the present world shortage of paper, undesirable.
Another change will be the separation of the public notices from
the main body of the gazette. From Friday's edition, those notices
will be published as Supplement No. 6. The main gazette will, in future,
be confined to government notices.
