one of the documents that may be used as evidence to prove an
established village and should not be regarded as a
comprehensive list of the villages. Nor can it be taken as
the only evidence for validating the status of an established
village. I am aware that the Bill will have implications on
other related issues and that the passage of the Bill should
not be further delayed. However, I have every reason to
believe that the Administration will take appropriate action
to amend the definition of "established village" in the near
future. On this understanding, I support the motion.
