Following is the transcript of remarks by the Secretary for Development, Mr Eric Ma, at a media session after attending the Legislative Council meeting today (May 31):
Reporter: (any response on not instigating prosecution)
Secretary for Development: I think the most important is that we conducted the investigation and passed all the facts and evidence we had collected during the investigation to the Department of Justice, and they considered all the facts. At the moment we don't have any solid evidence to have any prosecution of responsible person. However, we are now seeking the advice from the Department of Justice about the disciplinary inquiry against the relevant persons registered under the Buildings Ordinance.
