Work plan for the 2017-2018 session
Noting that the Administration would brief the Panel on the smart city blueprint for Hong Kong, Mr CHAN Chun-ying proposed that the Administration should provide more information on the provision of “eID” for all Hong Kong residents as highlighted in the Policy Address. The Deputy Chairman, Mrs Regina IP and Mr CHAN Han-pan shared Mr CHAN’s views. Mrs IP suggested that the development of digital identity for companies should also be included in the discussion. The Chairman undertook to follow up members’ suggestion with the Innovation and Technology Bureau.
(Post-meeting note: The Administration advised that the subject on “eID” would be discussed in the context of implementation of key infrastructure projects to support smart city development which would be included in the agenda of the Panel meeting scheduled for February 2018.)
