The effect of the Bill is to permit the

Postmaster General, with the prior approval of the

Governor infCouncil, to issue postage stamps which

incidentally also raise money for charity. It is the

Government's intention if the Bill is passed that there

should be a special issue of charity stamps later this

year to raise funds on behalf of the Community Chest.

anniversary and the chest is the umbrella organisation for

many of Hong Kong's most deserving causes.
