Supplementary to Question No. 10 in the

Lislative Council on 13.11.85

Mr. CHENG Hon-kwan : Sir, in expediting its deliberation has the working party

-

actually come to the stage where appropriate departments or professional bodies

have been consulted on various issues involved ?

#t

Secretary for Lands and Works : Sir, the industry, the profession and relevant

government departments are represented in the working party. When the working party

has come to its conclusions, its report will be considered within the Administration

and will be passed to the Land and Building Advisory Committee for advice, in which

representative of the industry and the professions are also there.

Mr. S.L. Chen : Sir, when may we expect the conclusions from the working party?

Secretary for Lands and Works : - As indicated in my reply the tasks facing the

working party are involved and I do not expect a report, and an interim report

Į

at that, until next year.

-

Mr. F.K. Hu : Sir, can the Secretary for Lands and Works advise this Council

whether the working party has considered the position of those engineers who are

registered under the existing system with a view to meeting the new standard. Can

these engineers continue to work as registered engineer under the new system in

future ?

Secretary for Lands and Works : - This is a question the working party will no

doubt have to consider very carefully because people's practice are being involved and

I am sure the working party will take that into account.
