to questio
in Legco Meeting on 2.12.87
MRS. FAN (in Cantonese): Sir, after the occurrence of the two
incidents, is the Government still satisfied with the existing
channels of communication with the fishermen?
Will the
Government improve the existing channels of communication with
the fishermen so that they may have
have a better understanding of
the situation of the region and not run the risk of straying
into other territorial waters?
FINANCIAL SECRETARY: Yes, basically we are satisfied. The
radio programmes are weekly. There's a fishermen's half-hour
programme every Friday evening, which gives general advice to
the fishing community. This year so far six broadcasts have
been used to specifically remind fishermen to avoid fishing in
other territorial waters. There are also meetings with the
fishermen's societies that I mentioned in my principal answer
and staff of the Agriculture and Fisheries Department attend
the meetings. We are taking action to remind market managers
to ensure that notices displayed in markets are correctly
displayed and are informative.
MR. CHUNG: Sir, may I know what the Hong Kong Government could
do in a case where the foreign authorities have
authorities have no diplomatic
relations with the United Kingdom?
HIS HONOUR THE PRESIDENT: Would the Secretary for Security
like to answer that question?
