Acting Chief Executive Matthew Cheung:
The Development Bureau has already asked Leighton to produce evidence and information about, in particular, its work in respect of the Hung Hom MTR Station of the Shatin-Central line. And also report in terms of the excavation work, the support work, in connection with the Exhibition (Centre) Station, also the Development Bureau will ask them to provide a report within a certain time frame. So we are following up on the general performance of Leighton in respect of government contracts. Of course, the question of responsibility in respect of Hung Hom Station must be left to the independent statutory Commission of Inquiry that will be set up.
