taken to introduce these amendments. As my colleague,
Ron Bridge, pointed out in this Council on 25 May in reply
to a question from Mr. TAM Yiu-chung, we need to be
careful in making sure that the wording of the Bill is
clear, particularly in respect of the provisions for

to go to the right person. The fact that Members now
consider the legal language satisfactory is sufficient
evidence that the time taken is well worth it.
