The chief executive will release more information about illegal structures found at his home on The Peak, he said on Tuesday amid mounting pressure from lawmakers and the public.

Leung Chun-ying said he would give a further account once his team of professional advisers had finished liaising with the Buildings Department about necessary modifications to one of his two houses in Peel Drive.

Leung said he hoped his further explanation would end the controversy.

“After the professionals give me their advice, I will give a full account once again to the public, to conclude the matter,” he said before attending an Executive Council meeting on Tuesday morning.

“I hope that after that, I can concentrate on my chief executive’s duty and we will start a new journey,” he said.

Pressure is mounting on Leung to further explain the illegal structures after buildings officers last week found an unauthorised space of 320 sq ft behind a brick wall in his house.
