ANSWER:
There will be a review of the further development of representative government in Hong Kong in 1987. Decisions on any further developments must await the outcome of that review. The Joint Liaison Group discussed recent changes in Hong Kong's political system at the Group's second meeting between 26 and 29 November 1985. The Group's proceedings are confidential. But the atmosphere of the discussions was friendly and cooperative.
