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 meeting of the Legislative Council Panel on Housing today (November 5):

Reporter: The residents in Tung Chung are suffering because of the influx of tourists. What do you have to say to them?

Secretary for Transport and Housing: We would be trying to do whatever we can to relieve their stress in terms of the influx of tourists to Tung Chung, and therefore we are looking into the possibility of whereabouts we can move the bus station. At the same time, we have to make sure that there would be sufficient space for the passengers to queue and make sure that the queuing is safe in terms of traffic.
