SECRETARY FOR DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION:

a

Sir, as I have said

it is not proper for me to be discussing Finance Committee paper which will be discussed on 9 December today.

Mrs. NG (in Cantonese):

Sir, since the Government has

met a lot of difficulties in finding sites for building

THA'S

or temporary housing areas especially in the urban

since

犬

area, and the temporary housing area policy is not a

policy which enables land resources to be exploited

adequately as only two-storey structures are

constructed, could the Government consider reviewing the temporary housing area policy and revise the ten-year residence period as a criteria for public housing.

HIS HONOUR THE PRESIDENT: That question is somewhat away from the original. Would Secretary for District

Administration

be prepared to comment?

SECRETARY FOR DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION: Sir, I will

certainly pass on Mrs. NG's comment to Secretary for Housing

but certainly this is quite different from the original question.
