Transcript of remarks by STH
****************************
     Following is the transcript of remarks by the Secretary for Transport and Housing, Mr Frank Chan Fan, at a media session after attending the Legislative Council's Public Accounts Committee public hearings today (July 20):
 
Reporter: Mr Chan, there are some residents who asked for a later allocation into the estate, being that some of them are concerned maybe there's need for further testing before they actually move into the flats. Can the Government consider such a demand?
 
Secretary for Transport and Housing: We have to balance between the need for accommodation and the concern on water safety. So far we will continue to allocate flats for those who are in need of accommodation. By the time when they are given the allocation, they do have a choice to refuse it and wait for another allocation.
