Supplementary to Question No. 3 in the

Legislative Council on 12 March 1986

Mr. Hilton CHEONG-LEEN:

Sir, a few months ago the Pest Control Section of

Municipal Services Branch had brought to the attention of the Housing Department

that despite their fairly vigorous efforts of control, the matter was gradually

getting out of hand and it was that the pest control staff felt that it was

fighting a lonely battle against what is termed a highly prolific rat population, in

which they had little chance of succeeding. When will it be possible for the

Housing Department staff and the representatives of the Pest Control Section

to have a joint meeting together to review the guidelines which have been issued

and how much more can be done to control the problem?

Secretary for Housing: Yes, Sir, we will be having meetings with the Pest

Control Advisory Board as what is mentioned by Mr. CHEONG-LEEN.
