Information on whether Lau Chinshek is a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, director of the Hong Kong Alliance and chair of the Hong Kong Christian Industrial Committee [HKG24444.E]

Lau Chinshek does not appear on the list of members of Hong Kong's Legislative Council. Information on whether he is the director of the Hong Kong Alliance could not be found among the sources currently available to the DIRB.

According to a letter received from the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Toronto, the Chairman of the Hong Kong Christian Industrial Committee is Reverend Yiu-ming Chiu (30 July 1996).

This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
