Further changes after 1991?
We certainly do not rule out further changes before 1997,
including the possibility of additional directly elected seats after
1991. But this will be assessed in the light of Hong Kong's
circumstances and experience of the new arrangements in 1991, and in
the light of the Basic Law, which will be promulgated in 1990. We
must of course keep in mind the need to ensure continuity and
a smooth transition in 1997.
