The Group recognises, however, the need for flexibility.

In order that the scope of delegation may be extended, if and when necessary in future, without going through the elaborate procedure involved in amending an ordinance, the Group has proposed that the

At the Committee Stage, my colleague, Mr HO Sai-chu, will

Sir, subject to that amendment, I support the motion.
