Administration of Justice

(Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill 1988

Resumption of debate on Second Reading

Attorney General's response to Dr. Henrietta Ip's speech

ATTORNEY GENERAL:

Sir, I am most grateful to Dr. Henrietta Ig for her support for this Bill which, as she rightly points out, takes a positive step towards improving the administration of justice.

This is part of a continuing

process, for as I informed this Council when I moved the second reading of the Bill on 18 May 1988, it is hoped that the civil jurisdiction of the District Court

could be further extended at a later stage.

Sir, I beg to move.

Question put and agreed to.

Bill read the Second time.

Bill committed to a Committee of the whole Council pursuant to Standing Order 43(1).
