Supplementary to Question No. 5 in the

Legislative Council on 6 February 1985

Mrs. Pauline NG asked in Cantonese:-

很高興知道政府已經在部份新型的屋邨 改用新的晾衣設施,如果這個計劃證明是 成功的話,政府可否考慮改良舊有的晾衣 設施,以保障使用者及路人的安全。

(The following is the interpretation of what Mrs. NG asked.)

Sir, I am very pleased to learn that the Government has been trying out new

drying facilities in new housing estates. If this proves successful will the

Government consider improving the drying facilities in the older estates to

ensure that users as well as pedestrians are safe?

Secretary for Housing :- Sir, we are trying out a few new methods and these

are still in experimental stage. Of course if any of them proves to be more

effective and popular, we will certainly consider replacing some, or all, of

them in the old estates.
