Mr. LAI: Sir, with reference to the Secretary's reply

in his last paragraph, what are the areas that the review has identified which require changes to the

law and when will the review be completed?

SECRETARY FOR SECURITY: Sir, I do not think it would be appropriate for me at this stage, while the review is in progress, to start anticipating findings of the review but I can assure hon. Members that the Secretary for Administrative Services and Information tells me that the review will be completed by the end

of this year.

Mr. CHEONG: Sir, I presume this review exercise is undertaken internally with Government branches and departments. Would there be any plans for inputs from non-Government sources to be taken into consideration. before final recommendation is made?

the

SECRETARY FOR SECURITY: Yes, Sir, my hon. Friend

is correct. The review is being undertaken by officials within the Government within the Administrative Service and Information Branch. The Secretary would certainly be extremely interested to have the views on this subject that any Members would care to put to him.

Mr. Martin LEE: Sir, taking into account the change in the purchasing power of the Hong Kong dollar since 1977 what is the present equivalent of $20 in 1977?
