Supplementary to Question No. 1 in the

Legislative Council on 26 June 1985

Mrs. Ng asked in Cantonese :

閣下,在過去兩年內,政府有没有接獲有

關由私人會所或聯誼會所成立的桌球

在深夜時分發出聲浪騷擾附近的居

類的投訴?

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

Sir, in the past two years, has the Government received any

complaints about nuisance caused by these billiard centres run by

private clubs late in the evening ?

-

The Chief Secretary : Sir, there has been some complaints, but

not a great number of complaints. But as I said the Secretary for Municipal Services is now looking into the question of the

operation of these billiard centres by private clubs.

Mrs. Chow: - Is there any complaint attached to the examination

referred to in paragraph 2, may I ask ?

The Chief Secretary : Sir, the Secretary for Municipal Services will act as expeditiously as possible but it is a complex subject

and of course we are entering into the field of private operations

and private rights and interests.
