In brief, the further changes proposed are:
(a; to increase the number of functional constituency
seats from 14 to 21;
(b to reduce the number of appointed members from 20
to 17;
(c) to withdraw from this Council all except 3 of the
ex officio members and;
(d) to appoint a non-official member as Deputy
President of the Council.
As regards the functional constituencies, our
objective in this latest stage of reform has been to
broaden the base of representation by functional groups.
In 1995, we will continue this process so that the broadest
possible spectrum of interests can be separately identified
in the membership of this Council.
