Dear Mr. Amarel,  

I refer to your request for access to information dated 2019-12-17.

For the number of money lender licences that were cancelled or refused to
renew, and number of money lenders who were convicted of contravention of
the Money Lenders Ordinance, you may contact other Government Departments
(e.g. Companies Registry and Security Bureau) for the relevant statistics.

For the number of complaints against money lenders, the Police does not
maintain the requested statistics.

For the number of staff and budget involved in the regulation and
licensing of money lenders, we regret to inform you that your request is
refused and the following sections of Part 2 of the Code on Access to
Information are relevant: -

2.6         (f)         Information the disclosure of which would harm or
prejudice the preservation of the peace, public safety or order, or the
preservation of property; and
2.9         (d)        Information which could only be made available by
unreasonable diversion of a department's resources.

Thank You for your enquiry.  

Yours sincerely,

( KUNG Yee-lam )
for Commissioner of Police
