Transcript of remarks by STH (with video)
*****************************************
     Following is the transcript of remarks by the Secretary for Transport and Housing, Mr Frank Chan Fan, at a media session after visiting the West Kowloon Station of the Hong Kong Section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link with the Legislative Council (LegCo) Bills Committee on Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link (Co-location) Bill and the Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways today (February 27):

Reporter: The lawmakers said that the visit was simply too rushed. The concerns of the legality and technical issues were not really addressed during the visit. If they really want to come again, would you and other ministers accompany them and do another site visit?

Secretary for Transport and Housing: As far as I can appreciate during the visit just now, we did have a very good exchange and the purpose of the visit is for our very dear legislators to appreciate what is going on here, how is the environment, and in terms of the Hong Kong Port Area and the Mainland Port Area, how will they be laid out and whether or not there are clear distinctions between the two areas. The process, in terms of leaving Hong Kong and entering Hong Kong, was also illustrated, presented and discussed. If there are any other questions and further details, we are more than pleased to have them discussed during the Legislative Council, in particular in the Bills Committee (meeting).

Reporter: But no other site visit again?

Secretary for Transport and Housing: We won't exclude that at this instance, but I think it depends on the need.
