HONG KONG URBAN COUNCIL

By-laws which was adopted by the Government Departments upon the agreement by a metrication board in 1976 as the rounding off conversion of 155°F has proved to be incorrect as the metal customarily used for manufacture of such fusible links is incapable of fusing at 65°C and in fact will only fuse at 68.33°C.

The corresponding Ventilation of Scheduled Premises (New Territories) (Amendment) Regulations 1982 were approved by the Executive Council on 22nd June, 1982 with an amendment of a slightly higher figure of 69°C instead of 68°C to be adopted. They will come into operation on 1 August 1982.

The purpose of the Order is to designate the Sai Wan Ho Temporary Market public market and to include it in the Tenth Schedule to the Public Health and Urban Services Ordinance, Cap. 132, at the same time deleting the Sai Wan Ho Market and Western Market, South Block.

I beg to move.

MR. AUGUSTINE S. K. CHUNG seconded (in English):—Mr. Chairman I second the motion.

The question was put.

The motion was carried unanimously.

4. THE HONOURABLE MARIA W. C. TAM, CHAIRMAN OF THE FOOD HYGIENE SELECT COMMITTEE, moved the following motion:-

'RESOLVED that the Food Business (Amendment) (No. 2) By-laws 1982 be made under section 56 of the Public Health and Urban Services Ordinance, Cap. 132.'

She said (in English):—Mr. Chairman, as Chairman of the Food Hygiene Select Committee, I rise to move the motion in my name.

The purpose of the Food Business (Amendment) (No. 2) By-laws 1982 now before the Council is to make provision to enable the Urban Council who is the licensing authority to refuse the issue of certain types of food business licences, such as restaurants, food factories, bakeries and factory canteens, unless the premises have complied with any requirements imposed by the Director of Fire Services.

The current licensing procedure for these types of licences is for the Council to refer applications to other relevant Government Departments, such as the Fire Services Department, Buildings Ordinance Office, Crown Lands and Survey Office and the Labour Department, where appropriate, for them to advise whether or not they have any objection in principle to the application. If no objections are received from such departments, the Council proceeds to process the application independently leaving other departments concerned to deal with the imposition of and compliance with their own requirements with the applicant directly.

The Director of Fire Services has drawn the attention to the fact that, in many cases, the applicants have been slow to comply with the fire safety requirements once they had been granted the licences by the Urban Council with the result that it was necessary for the Fire Services Department to take action by way of fire hazard abatement notices and summonses, which have been found to be cumbersome and ineffective in producing the desired results. This also exposed the patrons to fire risk from the time these food business premises come into operation until full compliance with these requirements.
