SPEECH BY THE SECRETARY FOR DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION
IN THE LEG IS LAT IVE COUNCIL
ON WEDNESDAY, 5TH FEBRUARY 1986
REGIONAL COUNCIL (AMENDMENT) 3ILL 1986
Sir,
I move that the Regional Council (Amendment) Bill 1986
be read the second time.
2.
Developments since the enactment of the Regional Council
Crdinance on 11 July 1985 have made a number of minor changes to
the Ordinance necessary. Certain transitional provisions for the
period when the Regional Council comes into operation have also
been found necessary. The Bill now before Members seeks to make
those amendments so that the Regional Council can operate
effectively when it comes into being on 1 April 1986.
3.
The establishment of the Regional Council has also made
certain consequential amendments to the Urban Council Ordinance
and the Public Health and Urban Services Ordinance essential.
Those amendments are covered by the Urban Council (Amendment)
Bill 1986 and the Public Health and Urban Services (Amendment)
Bill 1986 which have both been introduced into this Council
concurrently. I will explain the purposes of those two Bills when
move their Second Readings later.
