Local Government
I said that the F.C.0. had no strong
views on the form of any revised system of Local
Government:
we were primarily concerned to see
a decision being reached with the minimum of
further delay. The Governor said that proposals
would be put to the Executive Council, he
expected, during the period of his forthcoming
leave.. He arranged for the officer dealing with
the subject to explain the problems in fuller
detail at my final meeting before I left Hong
Kong. These problems were necessarily of a
detailed nature as the main decisions had already
been taken at official level.
