It is stipulated in by-law 28 of the Hawker (Urban Council) By-Laws that the Urban Council may, for the purpose of the charging of fees for the use of fixed pitches by licensees, erect a meter at or on each of those pitches. I sent a letter to the Attorney General in February this year enquiring about the matter, and my enquiry was referred to the Urban Services Department (USD) to follow up. The USD has recently sent me a reply saying that "The Urban Council has never set up such fixed pitches. The keeping of the relevant by-law is to enable the Urban Council to have the legal authority to set up such pitches should there be policy reasons to do so, so as to avoid wasting resources in going through the process of re-enacting the relevant legislative provisions." In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:

of the number of legislative provisions that have been enacted before the actual need for such provisions arises, as in the case of the above by-law;
whether consideration will be given to deleting or amending those legislative provisions which have never been invoked over the past several decades; and
whether the enactment of legislation before the need for such legislation arises is in keeping with the spirit of law-making?

The findings of a survey conducted by the Hong Kong Psychological Association indicate that the people in the territory generally adopt a discriminatory attitude towards new immigrants from mainland China. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:

of the activities carried out by the Committee on the Promotion of Civic Education and the Equal Opportunities Commission in eliminating the discriminatory attitude of the territory's people towards new immigrants;
how does the Government assess the effectiveness of the activities mentioned in the answer to (a) above; and
given that the findings of the above survey also indicate that many people in the territory are of the view that their share of the social welfare benefits has diminished as a result of the arrival of new immigrants, of the respective percentages of the resources allocated by the Social Welfare Department and the Labour Department for providing services to new immigrants out of the total expenditures of these two departments?

Public Officer to reply : Secretary for Home Affairs

*14. Mr LEE Wing-tat to ask : (Translation)

Recently some property developers, when putting up new flats for sale, provide to home buyers a penalty-free mortgage arrangement whereby home buyers will not be required to pay any punitive charges even if they repay the mortgage loan in full within the first year of drawing the loan. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council whether a study has been conducted to examine if such a mortgage arrangement will further fuel property speculation; if so, whether the Government will issue guidelines to property developers and banks requiring them to levy punitive charges on home buyers for early repayment of mortgage loans?

The sale of the remaining stock of definitive stamp sheets featuring the Queen's head by the Post Office on 18 March this year attracted many people to queue up overnight outside four post offices.

An elderly man in his seventies collapsed and died whilst queuing up to purchase stamps. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council whether:

a review of the above incident has been conducted by the Post Office; if so, what the results are; if not, why not; and
