Under pressure to state land supply plan in coming policy address, Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam gets no help from task force
Midterm report from government-appointed panel will have no recommendations from public consultation as members wary of premature conclusions
Hong Kong’s leader is under pressure in her coming policy address to indicate the government’s stance on land supply, but a task force heading a public consultation on the matter is reluctant to steer her in any direction just yet.
A member of the task force told the Post that a midterm consultation report to Lam was likely to only list four or five land supply options that had generated the most public discussion. The report would also explain details behind the talks.
The member said the report – which would be short and in the format of a letter – would not specify the amount of support or opposition expressed for each option.
Lam’s policy address is set for October 10, and she has previously promised to deliver a plan on land supply by then, having urged the task force to submit a midterm report this month.
