YOUR TELNO 661: IVORY: LEGISLATIVE TIMETABLE
1. THANK YOU FOR THIS PROMPT REPLY.
2.
ON THE LEGISLATIVE TIMETABLE, WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR CLARIFICATION ON ONE OR TWO FURTHER POINTS:
WILL THIS INVOLVE PRIMARY OR SUBSIDIARY LEGISLATION QUERY ONCE INTRODUCED INTO LEGCO, WHAT IS THE TIMEFRAME FOR CONSIDERATION QUERY IF LEGCO DECIDE TO HAVE A FORMAL COMMITTEE STAGE, HOW WOULD THIS EFFECT THE TIMETABLE QUERY
THERE WILL BE DEBATES ON THE BUDGET AT ABOUT THE SAME PERIOD. COULD THESE CAUSE TIMING PROBLEMS QUERY
THE LEGISLATION WILL NEED TO COME INTO EFFECT ON 16 JULY - THE RESERVATION HAVING BEEN ENTERED ON 17 JANUARY.

WE ARE ANXIOUS TO ENSURE THAT THERE ARE NO HIDDEN PITFALLS THAT MIGHT LEAD TO US MISSING THE DEADLINE.
