*************

     Referring to the "Cover Story" of Next Magazine, Issue 1222 published on August 7, 2013, where it concerns the Central Policy Unit (CPU), a spokesman for the CPU issued the following statement today (August 7):
 
     The CPU has been commissioning research organisations in the society to conduct policy and social situation research, but the CPU has never commissioned any organisations to participate in discussions or activities on the internet.
 
     As regards the Head, CPU's remarks at the TVB programme "On the Record" in November 2012 concerning public opinion and internet discussions, the CPU always maintains that the Government should understand public opinion, including opinion expressed on the internet, but the CPU has not suggested to the Government that it should, either on its own or through other people, participate in or influence discussions or activities on the internet.
