Government releases full report of Commission of Inquiry
********************************************************

     The Government today (September 30) released the full Report of the Commission of Inquiry into the Collision of Vessels near Lamma Island on 1 October 2012 (the Report).

     The Commission of Inquiry into the Collision of Vessels near Lamma Island on 1 October 2012 submitted the Report to the Chief Executive on April 19, 2013. At that time, as charges for manslaughter had been laid against the two coxswains involved in the incident, the Government, having sought legal advice, decided to redact those parts of the Report relating to issues concerning the responsibilities of the two coxswains so as not to affect the criminal proceedings.

     Since all criminal proceedings that might be affected by the Report have been concluded, the Government, having considered legal advice, has uploaded the full (unredacted) Report to the GovHK website (www.gov.hk/coi-lamma) for public information.

Ends/Wednesday, September 30, 2015
