Sir,
Speech by the Chief Secretary

Mr Lattice
PA (Paves & Privs)
I move
that the Legislative
Council
(Powers and Privileges) Bill 1985 be read a
second time.
2
The primary purpose of the Bill is
make provision for the powers and privileges of
the Legislative Council, its Members and
officers. Whilst the Bill will have the effect
of granting powers, privileges and immunities to
individual members personally, its objective is
to enable Members to discharge their functions
properly, without fear or favour, and
and to uphold
the dignity of the legislature.
3
Traditionally, the main privileges
enjoyed by Members of Parliament in Westminster
are
as follows.
