| (i) Staff Development
 The Land Registry will continue to arrange officers to attend local executive development programmes and
                            centrally organised training programmes of the Civil Service Bureau in the coming year. Through the
                            development and training programmes, officers will be better equipped to make full and effective
                            contribution to the development of the department.
 
 
 (ii) Green Management
 
 The major impact of the Land Registry's business operations on the environment is the consumption of paper
                            and energy. We will continue with our efforts to reduce consumption in these areas. These include the
                            removal of non-essential lighting in offices, the proposal to allow the filing of standard terms documents
                            (which can substantially reduce the volume of mortgage documents), further promotion of the use of
                            e-Memorial Form and exploration of the feasibility of double-side printing of land documents.
