The Transport and Housing Bureau forecast that about 74,600 public rental flats would be built by 2015, including about 13,800 flats this year and 11,200 flats next year.
     The bureau says it would explore the feasibility of reclaiming land near Tung Chung on Lantau Island and study the possibility of an additional station on the Tung Chung MTR line.
     In response to concern about the increasing number of single younger people queuing for government flats, the bureau agrees this creates pressure and has to be dealt with.
