Following is a question by the Hon Abraham Shek, and a written reply by the Secretary for Transport and Housing, Professor Anthony Cheung Bing-leung, in the Legislative Council today (January 30):
Question:
Will the Government inform this Council of the respective numbers of residential units produced from projects undertaken by the private sector in each of the years from 2002 to 2011 on sites involving applications for (i) lease modification, (ii) land exchange and (iii) private treaty grant?
Reply:
President,
In response to the Hon Abraham Shek's question, we have consolidated the required information, as tabulated in the table attached, based on the data and statistics provided by the Lands Department, the Buildings Department and the Rating and Valuation Department. As the Government has only started compiling the relevant statistics since 2004, we are not able to provide the same for 2002 and 2003.
