Poon Chung trang, Mr. Chung Pui-lam and Mr. Poon Chi-fai all stressed the need to help our industries achieve a higher measure of quality and efficiency through automation. I share their sentiments. So does the Industry Development Board.

As regards quality support services financed by Government, they are already well developed. However, on the advice of the Industry Development Board, the Director Industry is now considering what more needs to be done to promote quality in manufacturing.
As regards productivity, the Hong Kong Productivity Council is already providing consultancy services on automation systems, and will soon be opening up laboratory services on the automation of printed circuit board production. Research is being undertaken by the two universities in the automation of the design of moulds and dies. And although I do not disagree with Professor Poon when he praises computer aided design and manufacturing techniques, I would comment that they are already quite well established in Hong Kong; and here again the Productivity Council is helping to spread these techniques more widely.

A number of Members including Mr. Chung Pui-lam, Professor Poon Chung wong, Mr. Poon
Mr. Poon Chi-fai,
Chi-fai, Mr. Jackie Chan, stet Mr. Ngai Shiu-kit and Mr. Richard Lai, suggested that additional support should be provided to local industry through an increase in capital allowances for expenditure incurred on the provision of plant and machinery. As. I noted in my Budget speech, there was no reluctance on the part of manufacturers to invest in 1987, and I do not believe that the selective inducement of an increase in capital allowances is what is needed at this time.
