LRC Privacy Sub-committee consultation ends
The two-month consultation period for public views on the preliminary recommendations of the Privacy Sub-committee of the Law Reform Commission on 'Privacy: Regulating Surveillance and the Interception of Communication' will end tomorrow (June 15).
A spokesman for the Sub-committee said today (Friday) that some 20 submissions had been received by the Sub-committee but the final count would only be known after receiving all submissions made by post.
He stressed that the public's views would be carefully studied by the Sub- committee before its final recommendations are submitted to the Law Reform Commission for consideration and preparation of the final report.
The consultation process was to ensure that any final recommendations by the Commission were workable and broadly acceptable to the community, he said.
Submissions could be sent to the Secretary of the Privacy Sub-committee, 20th floor, Harcourt House, 39 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, or by fax on 2865 2902.
