Stadium and what follow-up action was taken by the Department after those press reports were issued.

Before the issue of those press reports, the Department was aware that the Hong Kong Football Association would display the notice during all football matches at Mong Kok Stadium. Since children, wives and girlfriends of the football players might come to watch the matches, the notice was to remind family members of the players not to intrude into the playing area of the Stadium so as to avoid accidents. It was by no means a discrimination against the female. Whenever there were football matches at the Stadium, staff of the Hong Kong Football Association would display the notice at the gate of the players' tunnel before the matches began. Since the notice was for internal use of the Hong Kong Football Association and it was displayed at the players' tunnel, the management staff of the Department did not raise any objection. To avoid misunderstanding by the public, the Department has, after the issue of the press reports, liaised with the Hong Kong Football Association and wrote to urge them to take appropriate action. The staff of the Hong Kong Football Association replied that since the affiliated clubs of the Association were all aware of the contents of the notice, they would not display it again in future. Besides, they would deploy staff to remind family members of the players verbally and prevent them from intruding into the playing area during matches so as to avoid accidents.

In the second part of the question, Mr. Wu asks whether the Department was aware that the Hong Kong Football Association would display this notice board or not when the Council's Hong Kong Stadium and its other stadia are rented to the Association for conducting activities.

To our understanding, in the past, the Hong Kong Football Association would display this notice board during all football matches conducted at the Council's Hong Kong Stadium and its other stadia to remind players' family members not to enter the playing area in order to avoid accidents. However, the Association has indicated that they will not display that notice board again.

In the third part of the question, Mr. Wu asks whether the Department has received any complaints from the public concerning discrimination against the female in the use of facilities, and if yes, the contents of the complaints.

In the past, the Department had never received any complaints from the public concerning discrimination against the female in the use of PUC recreational venues.
