1 Legco seeks $20m in Tamar move
Damon Pang, The Standard, 26 July 2007

The Legislative Council is seeking a one-off HK$20 million grant from public coffers to set up a task force to monitor the construction of the Legco complex at Tamar, the president of the legislature said yesterday.

Rita Fan Hsu Lai-tai said after a Legislative Council Commission closed- door meeting that members had agreed the money would be spent to ensure everything - from the design of the future chamber to its chairs - met their requirements.

The team will also oversee the entire moving arrangements from the Legco building in Central to the future waterfront site in Wan Chai.
