Question 5 Page 5

HIS,EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT : The question, please, Mr. POON.

MR. PETER POON :

My question is coming.

The

traffic situation is very, very tight now and it will be

even worse in the years to come because more buildings are coming up.

Can the Secretary give a commitment that he will seek

more funds and to implement such a scheme as soon as

possible?

SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT : Sir, I do wish very much to

have

more funds, but

this

is

subject

to the Chief Secretary's Allocation Committee.

So

I

cannot

commit myself or the Chief

Secretary to this particular request, but I will do my

best, Sir.
