Supplementary to question No. 8

in the LegCo Meeting on 4.12.85

Mr. Hilton Cheong-leen:- For how many years from now would it be

considered there is no need to review whether or not the present

system should be changed?

Secretary for Transport:- Sir, I don't really have much to add to

what I have just said. There is no need to change this system.

To do so would be extremely costly; we would have to rebuild

most of our roads because of the camber and geometry of the roads;

we would have to change many of our public buildings for the

ingress and exists; and this will cost hundreds and millions of

dollars and quite frankly we have other more pressing priorities.
