Following is a question by the Hon Michael Tien and a reply by the Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Miss Rosanna Law, in the Legislative Council today (September 25):
Question:
(3) In response to the question from the Hon Tien at the Legislative Council meeting on January 8, I stated that we would continuously review the terms of Government funded events to ensure that the funding provided was value for money, added value to Hong Kong, and did not damage Hong Kong’s reputation. In fact, we had already completed the review on the “M” Mark Major Sports Events and the Mega Arts and Cultural Events Fund, and announced measures to strengthen the vetting mechanism and subsequent monitoring, and provide more targeted financial support for events that attract tourist participation.
