This
Administration
19
-
has
repeated ly
promised
the
people of Hong Kong that the 1987 Political Review will be
genuine one. The people of Hong Kong have been
encouraged to
s pe ak up. Many have done so. And in spite of the apparently
unfair way in which the public's views have been presented in
this Report on direct elections, the conclusion is clear: there
is clear majority support in Hong Kong for the introduction of
direct elections in 1988.
Sir, let this Administration show us its undaunted
mettle and restore its credibility with us to the full by
coming to the only correct decision in the circumstances: give
our people a vote in 1988.
