No. Public Revenue Protection (Dutiable Commodities) Order 2011 ............................................................. 32/2011 Public Revenue Protection (Motor Vehicles First Registration Tax) Order 2011..................................................... 33/2011 Rating (Exemption) Order 2011......................................... 34/2011 Legal Aid (Assessment of Resources and Contributions) (Amendment) Regulation 2011.............................. 35/2011 Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants Ordinance (Amendment of Schedules 1 and 3) Order 2011 ............................................................. 36/2011 Other Papers No. 68 ─ The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts Annual Report 2009-2010, and Financial statements and Auditor's report for the year ended 30 June 2010 No. 69 ─ Hong Kong Arts Development Council Annual Report 2009/10 No. 70 ─ Audited financial statements together with the Auditor's report and Report on Activities of the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority for the year ended 31 August 2010 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 2 March 2011 6061 No. 71 ─ Estimates for the year ending 31 March 2012 General Revenue Account ― Consolidated Summary of Estimates ― Revenue Analysis by Head Report No. 14/10-11 of the House Committee on Consideration of Subsidiary Legislation and Other Instruments Report of the Bills Committee on Chief Executive Election (Amendment) Bill 2010 and Legislative Council (Amendment) Bill 2010 Report of the Bills Committee on Motor Vehicle Idling (Fixed Penalty) Bill ORAL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Questions. First question. Relocation of Offices of the Government and Public Organizations in Core Districts 1. MS STARRY LEE (in Cantonese): The prices and rental for premises in commercial buildings, in particular Grade A offices, have continued to rise recently. According to the "Hong Kong Property Review" published by the Rating and Valuation Department, the prices and rental for Grade A offices in core districts in December 2010 had, as compared with the relevant figures 18 months ago, increased by 43% and by 16% to 20% respectively. This causes the operating costs of enterprises to increase drastically and will ultimately aggravate the burden on consumers. In view of the limited supply of commercial buildings in core districts, there are comments that some government departments and public organizations which have offices situated in these prime land lots are competing with the private sector for profits and failing to make good use of public resources. In his reply to my question at the Question and Answer Session of this Council on 14 May 2009, the Chief Executive pointed out that staff members in the Government Property Agency had been reviewing these issues. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: 6062 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 2 March 2011 (a) the names of the government departments and public organizations with offices situated in core districts such as Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok, and so on, at present (set out in table in the appendix), and list by department and organization in table form the location, uses, total floor areas, estimated prices (for government properties) or monthly rental (for non-government properties) of these offices, whether there is any relocation plan, and if so, the details of the plans, the dates of relocation and the addresses of the new offices; (b) of the number of government departments and public organizations which have relocated their offices away from core districts since May 2009, together with the details (including the dates of relocation and new addresses); whether the Government will conduct a comprehensive review of the feasibility of relocating the offices in part (a) away from the core districts so as to vacate the sites for other development purposes; if it will, of the details and progress; if not, the reasons for that; and (c) what measures the authorities have to assist the trades in resolving difficulties in coping with increasing operating costs resulting from rising prices and rental of commercial buildings? President, before the Secretary gives his reply, I wish to raise a point of order. Except me, most Honourable colleagues have not received the main reply to this question and even in my case, so far, I have not received the Annexes. May I ask the President to rule whether or not the time for this question should be put back? PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): The main reply, in written form, has been placed on Members' desks. MS STARRY LEE (in Cantonese): Only I have been given the reply and other Members do not have it yet. President, even the reply given to me is incomplete, with only the basic part but as for the most important part, that is, the Annexes that I requested the authorities to provide in tabulated form are still unavailable.

  • Monthly Report HK
    January 2011 in Hong Kong 31.1.2011 / No 85 A condensed press review prepared by the Consulate General of Switzerland in HK Economy + Finance HK still ranked world's freest economy: HK remains the world’s freest economy for the 17th straight year and ranked 1st out of 41 countries – according to a report released by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal. The city’s score remains unchanged from last year at 89.7 out of 100 in the 2011 Index of Economic Freedom, with small declines in the score for government spending and labour freedom offsetting improvements in fiscal freedom, monetary freedom, and freedom from corruption. The report said HK is one of the world’s most competitive financial and business centres, demonstrating a high degree of resilience during the global financial crisis. City casts off shadow of global financial crisis: HK's economy is rebounding from the aftermath of the global financial crisis, with the public coffers enjoying the first eight-month surplus in three years. The latest announcement showed a far better financial picture than the government had forecast. In his budget speech in February, Financial Secretary John Tsang projected a net deficit of HK$25.2 billion for the current financial year. However, consensus estimates among most accounting firms now put the full financial year budget at a surplus of at least HK$60 billion. The reserves stood at HK$537 billion as of November 30, compared to HK$455.5 billion a year earlier. HK jobless rate falls to 4pc: HK's unemployment rate declined from 4.1 per cent in September to November last year to 4.0 per cent in October to December last year.
