This statement is no more than an outline of the

decisions already taken by the Government on the major

recommendations of the BRB. Further details will be

given at a press conference to be held by the

Secretary for Administrative Services and Information

to-day.

Sir, it will be realised from my statement how

much valuable advice was obtained from the painstaking

work of the Broadcasting Review Board under the

Chairmanship of Mr. Justice Power and the future

audience of television and radio will owe them a great

debt. Many of the major proposals made by the Board

have been accepted, and in particular I would like to

mention the establishment of a Broadcasting Authority

and a Board of Governors for RTHK.
