Tsang Kwan O landfill

As we heard earlier, legislators have voted 55 to 2, backing a motion to repeal a government order expanding the landfill at Tseung Kwan O. The matter was put to a vote although government lawyers insisted that Legco has no power to veto the order to extend the landfill into Clear Water Bay Country Park.

The motion was put forward by Civic Party lawmaker, Tanya Chan. She joined us on the programme. (3.29 mins)
