representative to one of the Municipal Councils, and
the Municipal Councils will each elect a Member to the
Legislative Council. This system would clearly work
best if elections to the successive tiers of government
were to follow in sequence and if the terms of office
at all three levels were of equal length.

The Government has therefore decided:
(a)
that elections to the District Boards,
Municipal Councils and the
Legislative Council should be held in
the
that order;
(b) that all three sets of elections should
be held within the space of twelve
months;
and
(c)
that the terms of office of different
groups of Legislative Councillors should
not be staggered.
67.
The terms of office of Elected Members of the
Legislative Council will continue to be three years for
the time being. The latest draft of the Basic Law
envisages a four-year term for the legislature of the
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. If the Basic
Law does provide for this, the question of introducing
such a change before 1997 will then be examined.
