- Examination of Estimates of Expenditure 2010-11
Question: With regard to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre Phase 3 project planned by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, please advise this Committee of the details, progress and schedule of the works under preparation. Asked by: Hon. IP LAU Suk-yee, Regina Reply: On Hong Kong Trade Development Council’s proposal for a Phase 3 development of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre at a nearby site, the Government is still examining the relevant issues (including its location, design, related planning issues as well as its impacts on the traffic, environment and other public facilities in the vicinity). The Government has not made any decision on the proposal and timetable. We will conduct a public consultation at an appropriate time when there is a concrete proposal.
Question : What is the progress of the drafting of the Competition Bill? Will the Government be able to introduce the Bill into the Legislative Council in the first quarter of 2010? Asked by : Hon. IP LAU Suk-yee, Regina Reply : We are proceeding full steam ahead with the drafting of the Competition Bill. In the past year, we have been working hard with various bureaux and departments to determine the details of the Bill such as the operation and investigative power of the Competition Commission, the operational model of the Competition Tribunal, and how the competition law under preparation reconciles with other competition provisions of existing legislation etc. We are seeking to complete the drafting work of the Bill, and at the same time working with various bureaux and departments to examine the coverage and contents of relevant provisions and to finalize the details of the Bill. Although the Competition Bill is very complex, we still strive to maintain our original target on the introduction of the Bill into the Legislative Council.
