SECRETARY FOR SECURITY:

Sir,

ster.

The Argyle-Street Reception Centre is to be

reprovisioned in part of the Kai Tak Transit Centre. The date for vacating the Reception fentre is dependent

on the progress of the work necessary to refurbish

accommodation for it in the Kai Tak Transit Centre. I

am advised that this work will be completed in August

1988. We will then be able to vacate the site in Argyle

Street not later than 1 September 1988. We do not

foresee any problems in achieving this target date.
