Head :		152 Government Secretariat: Commerce and Economic Development Bureau (Commerce, Industry and Tourism Branch)			Subhead (No. & title) :

Programme :			(5) Subvention: Consumer Council

Controlling Officer :				Permanent Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development (Commerce, Industry and Tourism)

Director of Bureau :				Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development

Question :
With the growing awareness of local residents and tourists regarding consumer rights, the workload of the Consumer Council will increase, and public demand for price surveillance, handling of complaints, testing of goods and relevant education etc. will also rise. Why is there not an increase in the estimated expenditure for 2012/13 over the revised expenditure for 2011/12? Will the work of the Consumer Council be affected as a result? If not, why not?

Asked by : Hon. WONG Ting-kwong

Reply :
The Consumer Council (the CC) has been serving the community with its best efforts to protect consumer rights. The CC will maintain its service quality and efficiency by deploying flexibly its resources, notwithstanding rising consumer awareness and service demands. We will examine with the CC how to handle any unforeseeable needs that may arise.
