He said in making the regulation, the Government had also taken into account the financial means of the bedspace apartment operators and the special circumstances of bedspace apartments which provided low cost accommodation for those who needed it.
"The proposed fees, in fact, represent an insignificant percentage of the operating costs of bedspace apartments and therefore the consequential impact per bedspace on tenants will be negligible," he added.
Meanwhile, the regulation on the appeal board has prescribed the practice and procedure of the body.
Any person aggrieved by the decision of the authorities relating to licensing of bedspace apartments can appeal to the board.

Measures for display of film posters
The Government has decided to introduce a number of measures aimed at tackling the public display of offensive and pornographic film posters and providing more information to parents to help them make an informed choice on what films they wish their children to watch.
A Film Censorship (Amendment) Bill to this effect will be introduced into the Legislative Council on January 18, a spokesman for the Recreation and Culture Branch said today (Wednesday).
"Advertising materials, including posters of all Category III films, will be required to be submitted to the Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority (TELA) for approval before they can be distributed, circulated or publicity displayed," the spokesman added.
"Any person who distributes, circulates or publicly displays Category III film advertising materials without prior approval of TELA will commit an offence and be liable to a maximum fine of $200,000 and imprisonment for one year."
