COMAC's eighth annual report presented

The eighth annual report of the Commissioner for Administrative Complaints (COMAC) was presented by the acting Chief Secretary, the Hon Donald Tsang, to the Legislative Council today (Wednesday)

As in the previous years, the Administration would respond to the report with a government minute within three months, a government spokesman said.

The minute will cover the action that the Administration has taken or proposes to take in response to COMAC's recommendations in his reports on complaints investigated from July 1995 to June this year.

The Government Minute will be tabled in the Legislative Council in October.

New mail processing machine installed

The Post Office has installed two culler-facer-cancellers (CFCs) which will start to process mail on Friday (July 12), the Postmaster General, Mr Robert Footman, announced today (Wednesday).

The final commissioning of CFCs will be in September after a series of trials and acceptance tests.

Customers who wish to obtain datestamp impressions of CFCs on the first day of their trial operation may post their letters in the special posting boxes at the public counter hall of the following two post offices:

General Post Office (GPO), 2 Connaught Place, Central, Hong Kong (first floor, business hours: 8 am to 6 pm); and

International Mail Centre (IMC), 80 Salisbury Road, Hung Hom, Kowloon (ground floor, business hours: 9.30 am to 5 pm)

Customers who wish to obtain the CFC datestamp impression must ensure that the stamps affixed on their letters are phosphor-tagged. Such stamps are for sale on request at all post offices.

It should be noted that stamps from stamp vending machines are not tagged with phosphor. Enquiries may be made with the Post Office Enquiry Bureau on 2921 2222.
