     The Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Henry Tang, the Financial Secretary, Mr John C Tsang, and the Secretary for Justice, Mr Wong Yan Lung, SC, together with political appointees tonight (June 10) continued their unremitting efforts to solicit greater public support for the 2012 constitutional reform package.  They went directly to the community to engage its members to support the passage of the proposed package.

     Household visits were carried out on three routes.  Mr Tang visited households in Clague Garden Estate in Tsuen Wan.  Mr Tsang visited Hiu Lai Court in Kwun Tong and Mr Wong visited Shek Pai Wan Estate in Southern District.

     By paying door-to-door visits to residents of Block C of Clague Garden Estate, Mr Tang came into direct contact with the public.  For the long-term interests of Hong Kong, Mr Tang called on the various sectors of the community to support the reform package and join hands to roll forward constitutional development in Hong Kong.

     To appeal for greater public support for the reform package, Mr Tsang, together with the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Matthew Cheung Kin-chung, the Political Assistant to the Financial Secretary, Mr Frankie Yip, and the Political Assistant to the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Ms Zandra Mok, went to Hiu Sing House, Hiu Lai Court in Kwun Tong to conduct household visits and distribute flyers and pins.

     Mr Wong together with the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Mrs Rita Lau, and Under Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Mr Gregory So, distributed publicity items on the reform package while visiting households in Pik Ngan House, Shek Pai Wan Estate in Southern District.  They explained to residents the importance of the passage of the proposed package.

     Since May 29, the Government has launched a fresh community campaign in which officials reach out to people from all walks of life through various channels to appeal for greater public support for the 2012 constitutional reform package.
