| Extension of Flag Selling Hours
The Social Welfare Department announces that with the endorsement of the Lotteries Fund Advisory Committee, flag sale may be conducted from 7:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the allocated flag days starting from September 2005. The new time slot will, on the one hand, give the organisations one and a half hours more on the flag days to facilitate deploying their resources to increase their street collection, and will, on the other hand, minimise additional costs or manpower implications which would have been incurred if flag sale hours were extended beyond 12:30 p.m. into the afternoon. The new arrangement has taken into account the feedback of those organisations participated in the trial extension of flag selling hours during April 2005, the views of other charitable organisations and the public reaction in general.
