ON MR RENTON'S REMARK ON THE COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE REPRESENTAT- IVE SYSTEM AND THE BASIC LAW, THE HK DAILY NEWS SAID THE TWO SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH EACH OTHER. IT RENEWED A SUGGESTION THAT AN AD HOC GROUP BE SET UP IN LECCO TO STUDY THE ISSUE.
A COLUMNIST OF WAH KIU YAT PO, LEE MAN, HOWEVER, WAS WORRIED THAT MR RENTON'S IDEA OF ALLOWING HK EVOLVING ITS OWN SYSTEM WOULD LEAD TO AN EARLY WITHDRAWAL OF BRITAIN FROM HK.
