MR CHAN KIN-POR (in Cantonese): President, it is pointed out in the main reply that the LCSD should continue to be in charge of the communication work. However, as there are no policy guidelines from the Home Affairs Bureau, if conflicts arise in the future, will the Bureau interfere or it will let the LCSD deal with them on its own?
SECRETARY FOR HOME AFFAIRS (in Cantonese): President, over the years, arts and cultural performances have been staged through the negotiations between arts groups or artists and the professional grade staff of the LCSD, and I have found the results very satisfactory. I have already said that there are some 1 000 such activities each year. In the days to come, I hope that matters regarding the house programme, venue or publicity efforts will be handled by the two sides in a negotiable manner. I consider it most desirable to have the LCSD continue to take charge of them.
