Supplementary to Question No. 10 in the

Legislative Council on 23 January 1985

Mr. Stephen Cheong:- Sir, could the Secretary for Lands and Works be kind

enough to inform this Jouncil which particular computer system is responsible

for the regulation of ventilation according to traffic flow?

Secretary for Lands and Works:- It is the toll collection computer which

counts traffic flow as well. So it is from that information that you can

regulate the speed of the fan.

Mr. Stephen Cheong:- Is it therefore true that because of the bugs involving

the toll collection computer system that the intended savings of regulations

of fans and so on has not been onerating smoothly?

Secretary for Lands and Works:- At the present level of traffic volume, it

is not necessary, in fact, to turn on the fans most of the time. Therefore

the question of controlling the fans does not arise. It is only when traffic

volume has built up to perhaps double the present amount that we will need

Centre &

to introduce the fans.

Meanwhile as the problem with this

particular computer are being solved, we have decided to introduce interim

measures for the control of the fans
