Secretary for Development Bernadette Linn Says Government Can Collect Premium Under Land Lease If Anderson Road Developer Fails to Complete on Time

Secretary for Development Bernadette Linn said reinforcement bars at the Anderson Road residential project were not installed in accordance with the Buildings Ordinance, and the Buildings Department has prosecuted the contractor and professionals since last year. If the developer fails to complete the project on time, the government can collect premium under the land lease. She also said efforts are being made to complete the investigation into the lift incident at the new building of Queen Mary Hospital as soon as possible and submit a report to the Chief Executive, while the One Stanley case in Stanley remains under investigation.
