Flag day on next Wednesday
**
A permit has been granted to the Road Safety Association Ltd for selling flags in public places next Wednesday (December 28), a spokesman for the Social Welfare Department said today (Saturday).
The flag day, originally scheduled on July 23 this year, was cancelled because of the hoisting of the black rainstorm signal on that day.
Members of the public who have enquiries about the flag day may telephone 892 5319 or contact the department's hotline 343 2255.
