Colonial Secretary Moves Motion

The Hon Colonial Secretary, Sir Hugh Norman-Walker, today moved
that the Legislative Council welcomes the White Paper on the Urban Council
which was tabled on October 13 last year.
He said that since the White Paper on the future of the Urban
Council was laid and published for general information in October last year
he had noted "the general lack of any well-defined or generalised reaction"
to its proposals.
"However, the Members of the Urban Council have considered the
White Paper in detail and their Chairman has been good enough to forward their
comments to the Colonial Secretariat.
"I understand that both the elected and the appointed Members of the
Urban Council have had discussions on the White Paper with the Unofficial
Members of this Council whose views I look forward to hearing today," he said.
