Conclusion
HONG KONG URBAN COUNCIL
Members have also commented on a number of other issues, including the need for:
- expediting computerisation of museum collections
- setting up museums for children
- upholding the freedom of artistic expression
- cutting down recurrent expenditure
- promoting service culture among departmental staff
- introducing the anti-smoking policy in our Council venues
- reviewing the provision for Music Office activities
- introducing legislation on sale and labeling of Japanese raw food in Hong Kong
- promoting the sport of cycling
- increasing the frequency of street cleansing.
I can assure Members again that these and other issues raised will be pursued by the Department in consultation with the Select Committees concerned as appropriate.
Before concluding this speech, I would like to thank all Members, the Department and the Council Secretariat for their contributions and support which have enabled this Council to conduct its business effectively and efficiently.
I shall now put the Motion to the vote. Those in favour please raise their hands.
The question was put. The Motion was unanimously carried.
