Mr. SZETO's amendment also expressed
·
regret that only ter directly elected seats will be introduced in 1991. Sir, a theme which has emerged
from this debate so far is that the development of representative government should not, and will not, stop in 1991. The final chapter of the White Paper makes it absolutely clear that there will be further
development between 1991 and 1997. The draft of
the Basic Law contains a number of options for the
composition of the future Hong Kong SAR legislature.
All of them provide for at least 25 per cent of the
members of the legislature to be directly elected.
So there will, therefore, obviously be room to increase
the directly elected element in this Council between
1991 and 1997.
