Funds to Be Sought for Airport: The government said it will seek approval from the Legislative Council’s Finance Committee so it can award a $1.16-billion site preparation contract for the colony’s new airport.

It could lead to further deterioration in already bad Sino-British relations over the colony’s future development. The Legislative Council is Hong Kong’s parliament.
