should do now is to actively commit ourselves to the practical work of developing a future political system for Hong Kong within the framework prescribed in the White Paper. With regard to public discussion on our political system, we have now entered into another stage where the the Basic Law has become the focus of discussion. Hence, members of the public should give active response during the -forthcoming consultation period of the Basic Law so as to ensure
that the terms agreed in the Sino-British Joint Declaration will be
truly honoured.
Sir, with these remarks, I support the motion.
