III. QUESTIONS
(1) Ms. TING YUK-CHEE asked on behalf of Ms. CHOW KIT-BING (in Cantonese): 'Victoria Park is not only the place where Hong Kong people spend their leisure time on public holidays, but is also the park where tourists and overseas domestic helpers like to visit. Since the visitor flow has risen in recent years, the amount of litter left behind in the Park has increased accordingly. Some park-goers doing morning exercises in the Park have even complained to me that on the day following public holidays, there were often heaps of litter left uncollected in the Park. Some of the litter emitted foul smell which adversely affected the image and the environmental hygiene of the Park. Therefore, I have the following questions:
(a) How much litter in Victoria Park is collected by the Department during public holidays? What is the increase compared with normal weekdays?
