Drafting Committee Special Group on the Political System, 57 members
of the Basic Law Consultative Committee (BLCC) from the local industrial
and business sectors submitted a proposal to the BLCC on the future
government structure of Hong Kong.

sectors in Hong Kong.

will be based on the recommendations contained in the proposal in order to

It is worth noting that the proposal, which is entitled "A
Blueprint for the Government Structure of the Future HKSAR", is not only
designed for the post- 1997 situation, but also takes into account the
transition in the run-up to 1997.
