"Another batch of 242 civil celebrants of marriages ("civil celebrants") was appointed today (June 23)," an Immigration Department spokesman said.
Since the appointment of the first batch of civil celebrants on April 21, 2006, 628 civil celebrants have been appointed. The updated list of civil celebrants can be found at the Immigration Department website at http://www.immd.gov.hk.
