***********************************************************
The Government will set up a website tomorrow (August 1) to invite public views on the 2011-12 Policy Address and the 2012-13 Budget.
The consultation exercise for this year's Policy Address and that for the government expenditure of next year's Budget have been combined to strengthen the co-ordination between policy formulation and budgetary planning. This arrangement should facilitate more comprehensive consultations and informed discussion with the community.
The consultation exercise will focus on three areas, namely housing and home ownership issues, the ageing population and the wealth gap.
Members of the public are welcome to browse the website at www.policyaddress.gov.hk and give their views.
Ends/Sunday, July 31, 2011
