Q: Do you mean that there should be particular Unofficials to be responsible for specified areas of work, whether the system is called
"ministerial" or not?
A: Let me go back to the UC example. No matter what you call Mrs Elsie Elliott Tu chairman of the hawker select committee or minister for hawker the fact is that she has to stand up to answer questions on the hawker policy when someone raises questions on the area.
Q: But how are these ministers returned? Through appointment? Through elections?
A: How did Mrs Elsie Elliott Tu become the chairman of the hawker select committee? Future ministers could be appointed or elected, or chosen through consultation like the chairmen of Umelco's ad hoc groups. The method should be decided by the future Legco.
Q: Isn't it that different methods would have different effects?
A: Yes. It has also to depend on whether political parties would emerge at that time. If there are no political parties, the 60 Unofficials would decide how the ministers would be returned. But if political parties have then emerged, the ruling party would decide everything, and the ministers would be appointed by the leader of the ruling party, just like the system in Britain where the cabinet is now decided entirely by Mrs Thatcher, whose Conservative Party has won in the elections.

Q:
Political parties would emerge in HK
Such a development is inevitable and could hardly be stopped
Which system is better for HK?
A: It is difficult to say! It is not up to us to say whether we would like to have party politics. It is dictated by the practical situation. No country could possibly stop this development (except by violence). There are more than 10 political parties in Israel. do not want to have so many parties, but what can they do?
Q: Will political parties emerge in HK ?
Let us

A: It is inevitable, and it is only a question of time. assume that there were 60 members in Legco and all of them were elected. Each of them had to be responsible to his voters engineer had to look after engineering matters, while a DB member had to look after district affairs. The question was: how could achievements be made? It would be difficult for one to achieve anything if one only depended on ones own efforts. following development would naturally come about: for their comrades by supporting others' proposals. 15 or 20 people would join together. Although they did not constitute the majority, their power would obviously be strengthened!
As a result, the people would look
