Mr Stanley Newons (Harlow): To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, which items mentioned in the speech of His Excellency, Sir Murray MacLehose, at the Legislative Council for Hong Kong on 16th October 1974, as proposals for the improvement of facilities in the field of health, education and welfare, have been postponed and which have been cancelled as the result of Budget cuts announced in March 1975.
The Hong Kong Government is expected this year to spend over IIK 200 million more on health, education and social welfare than in 1974/75 (an increase of almost 11%). No items have been cancelled. Major items postponed are the opening of a new hospital and related clinics for six months, and capital works in respect of the universities and some secondary schools for one year.
