In accordance with Rule 24(4) of the Rules of Procedure, I have granted their requests. In addition, in accordance with Rule 16(4) of the Rules of Procedure, I have also granted leave to Ms Miriam LAU to move a motion of adjournment after dealing with all the other items on the Agenda today for the purpose of debating the impact of the radiation leakage on Hong Kong. Safety of Food Products Imported from Japan 1. MR ALAN LEONG (in Cantonese): President, Japan experienced an earthquake of unprecedented magnitude, which also triggered a tsunami and a nuclear crisis. Here, I express my mourning of the deceased and my condolences to the stricken population. President, given that after the occurrence of the most serious earthquake ever recorded in Japan, there were successive explosions at the nuclear power plants in Fukushima, some members of the public in Hong Kong are worried that food products imported from Japan will be contaminated by radiation. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (a) of the types of food products currently imported into Hong Kong which come from areas that may be exposed to radiation and the quantities imported each day; (b) given that the Secretary for Food and Health indicated on 14 March that the Centre for Food Safety (CFS) had carried out tests on fresh food products imported from Japan, whether the authorities can clarify the criteria adopted at present in testing the level of radioactive contamination in Japanese food products, as well as the measures to be adopted by the authorities when some food products 7684 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 16 March 2011 are found to have a level of radioactive contamination exceeding the normal standard; and (c) given that the Secretary for Food and Health indicated on 14 March that he would closely monitor food products imported from Japan, such as details of their places of origin, the time of departure from the farms, and so on, regarding the importation procedures for the food products mentioned above, whether the authorities and the Japanese Government have established crisis management and reporting mechanisms, so as to obtain full information on the sources of food products imported into Hong Kong and prevent food products which have been contaminated by radiation from being imported into Hong Kong; if they have, of the details; if not, the channels through which the authorities will receive the relevant information? SECRETARY FOR FOOD AND HEALTH (in Cantonese): President, Japan has just suffered from the most serious earthquake ever recorded in the country and a series of explosions at the nuclear power plants in Fukushima. We feel sorry for the significant human loss and devastation caused. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) Government would like to offer our deep sympathy and regards to the people and Government of Japan at this difficult time. We are prepared to offer all necessary assistance when required. In Hong Kong, some members of the public are concerned that food products imported from Japan might have been contaminated by radiation. The Government is responsible for monitoring the food safety in Hong Kong and will release the results of our surveillance programme in a highly transparent manner so as to relieve public concern. Radioactive material can affect our body through three ways, including (a) direct radiation; (b) through skin contact with and breathing in the contaminated air; and (c) through consuming the contaminated food and water. If radioactive fission products are released into the atmosphere, some of the gaseous and volatile radioactive isotopes could be carried by wind. The invisible radioactive material would behave in a way similar to a plume or cloud LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 16 March 2011 7685 of smoke dispersing into the atmosphere, with some of its contents deposited onto the ground.
