which takes over two years to complete.
1985 1986 and 1987 s 4,660, 5,485 and 4,426 respectively.
According to my understanding, the decrease was largely due to the
to observe
le Aribunal's failure ing in full the provisions of the Labour
Tribunal Ordinance which require the Labour Tribunal to hear a case
within 30 days after its application has been approved. In recent
years, the
30-days' rule is often observed only in formality because most cases are adjourned after the first hearing for an indefinite period of time depending on the nature of each case. hope that the authorities concerned would see this as a pressing
need for review.

As regards public revenue; the Financial Secretary has rejected the majority view from both inside and outside this Council and has insisted on maintaining combined taxation for married couples. Although the tax allowance has been raised, the concession made in real terms is not commensurate with the inflation rate over
the past few years. Our tax system must be equitable so as to
fair and reasonable distribution of our social resources to reduse with regard to educing the disparity between the poor and the rich. Despite its generosity in cutting profits tax, our Government's effort in taking care of the underprivileged is, to my deep regret, apparently insufficient.
Our Financial Secretary is,
is now studying the feasibility of and introducing sales tax. expanding the base of indirect tax Apart from affecting tourist industry, the introduction of sales tax would add another burden to the general public. Its effect on the community and the livelihood of the local population will be far-reaching and its consequences are serious. It is therefore in my opinion that the idea of sales tax is unworthy of our consideration.
Sir, with these remarks, I support the motion.
