The most important thing is that we in the Legislative Council have determined the way forward in developing
representative government. Therefore, I think that it is still acceptable to introduce in 1991 te district based directly elected seats to this Council. But, if for the
sake of introducing direct elections to this Council,
no appropriate arrangements are made concerning the link
between this Council and District Boards, I think under
present circumstances Government should be particularly
careful and give the matter further consideration.
Sir, I think the White Paper proposals are acceptable in principle, especially on the Governor continuing to serve as President of this Council, the addition of ic disuck boara ter Representatives to the Urban Council and the age
21. of entitlement to vote remaining at, twenty-one. I believe that this represents the wishes of the majority of the people of Hong Kong, but we should give more careful thought to the possible implications of the programme of
reform to ensure that the reforms are steady, flexible
and progressive.
Sir, with these remarks, I support the motion.
