MR. MARTIN LEE:
Sir, there is of course, a precedent, B
related
<<
but that was to a Bill, but
人
In fact, when I proposed an amendment
I read Standing Order 28 to mean that I do not have it as of right,
#
but that doesn't mean that you have no discretion.
Jennal
Attorney can be heard on that?
THE PRESIDENT.
Perhaps the
HIS EXCELLENCY Mr. Lee, Standing Order 28 (3) I think
says the mover of an amendment shall not have the right of reply. I regret I cannot give you the right of reply on the amendment. You do, of course, have a chance to speak on the main motion again
when we revert to the main motion, whether amended or not.
MR. MARTIN LEE:
Then would you then allow me to deal with
these points in my other speech, because it seems to me that it is
no good leaving them in thin air er in mid-air?
HIS EXCELLENCY: I would allow a degree of flexibility,
Mr. Lee, as I have allowed to other members of the Council. There
are rules in Standing Orders about repetition, and you will have
the degree of flexibility allowed to deal with these problems.
The question then is that the amendment-as-proposed by Mr. Martin
Lee, and that is, that the following words-should-be-added-at-the--
end of the motion as proposed by the Chief Secretary, the words being "But regrets the Government's decision not to introduce -partial-direct elections to the Legislative Council in 1988". Will
those in favour of the amendment please say 'Ayel?
