The Government will do all it can to

build new houses for villagers, before

their villages are removed; sometimes

this is not possible because of the

sequence of the land formation

programmes. In such cases, rental

allowance will be paid until the new

houses are ready.

19.

The Housing Authority has

recently reconsidered the allocation

of shops to shopkeepers whose premises

are cleared for development but has

decided, for practical reasons, that

the policy of cash compensation should

continue. The level of cash

compensation is being re-examined.

20.

Welfare assistance is

available to all who come within the

eligibility limits. This applies

equally to those who are affected by

development clearances.

21.

You have proposed that a

New Territories Affairs committee be

established, comprising the Heung Yee

Kuk and the Secretary for the New

Territories and other officials, and

have compared it with the Urban Council.
