said publicly that this proceedure is subject to
review and, of course, it must be a matter for the
Hong Kong Government to decide if and when it decides
to have a review and make any changes. I don't think
I would like to go any further than that but certainly
as far as I'm concerned and my briefing and talks I've
had indicated to me the present system is working
but there may well be a case in the future, a necessity for a review and the Government, I know, is prepared to do that.
