Supplementary to question No. 2 in the

Legislative Council on 23 January 1985

Dr. HO Kan-fai :- Sir, I thank the Secretary for Housing for the comprehensive

answer, but may I ask the Government to consider giving the affected tenants an

ex-gratia allowance adequate for the refurbishing of a new home and moving and

also seeking school places for the children for those who have to move out of

the Tsuen Wan area?

Secretary for Housing :- Sir, as I said in my last part of the answer the

removal allowances are actually under review and such expenses as removal of

telephones and so on will be taken into consideration. Also tenants will/moved ¡ n

to an estate of their choice and in many cases it will be nearby; therefore the

question of schools may not arise but where the need exists, every effort will be

made to assist the tenants.
