We envisage that badges and insignia will be modelled on the SAR regional flag and regional emblem, provided for in Article 10 of the Basic law, and should not be too controversial. We shall consider whether consult the Chinese nearer the time to implement changes.
General Section (F):
5.
not to
Column 5 as it is related specifically to ExCo's decisions on the future of the system of JPS should come under item
item (F), instead of (G). We agree that we should let LP XIV lapse in 1997 and rely on local legislation to ✓ provide for the appointment of JPS.
General Section (I):
6.
We will bear in mind your point about consultation with the Chinese in our further' deliberation of the matter.
General Section (J):
7.
On street names, there does not appear to be any need for changes before 1997. It would be up to the future SAR Government to make whatever changes it deemed to be desirable after 1997.
8.
On monuments, we consider that we should not take the initiative. Although it has been reported that China has requested the removal of the statute of Jaoa Ferriera do Amaral in Macau, they have not expressed similar concerns regarding any monuments in Hong Kong.
General Section (L)
