MR. MARTIN LEE : Sir,

competition reads: 'It is

is the intention of the promoter

that the project shall be built and, if possible, that the

winning architect shall be appointed for its development.

The competition has been designed in such a way that the

chances of the winning architect being considered suitable

appointing as the project architect are maximised.

However, the promoter shall not be held liable in the

event of the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club choosing not to

appoint the winner.' The question, Sir, is: what are

rule 2.27 of the rules of

for

the compelling reasons which urged the planning Committee

to recommend the runner-up instead of the winner?

SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER :

sir, the

Committee's responsibility is to provide the best possible

design for the best possible university they can produce,

and that was their criterion. They chose the design which

they felt will produce the best university.
