Transcript of remarks by STH
****************************
Following is the transcript of remarks at a media session by the Secretary for Transport and Housing, Mr Frank Chan Fan, after attending a public event this afternoon (December 30):
Reporter: Mr Chan, what do you make of the transitional housing project by Wheelock? And how likely will we see more than 10 000 transitional housing?
Secretary for Transport and Housing: We are in the process of talking with a few developers at the time, and we are hopeful that we would be able to make up the 10 000 unit target next year. Of course we need time to design and build, and it would take roughly about two to three years. So by the end of the next three years, we will hopefully come up with, hopefully at least like other media friends have just mentioned, we are targeting for more, but at least we should aim at 10 000 units as of now.
