The two motions carried by the Kwun Tong DB were :
"The Kwun Tong District
board supports the
in
intention of the Hong Kong Government
formulating the Hong Kong Bill of Rights
Ordinance" and
"The Kwun Tong District Board gave support to the
basic spirit of the draft Hong Kong Bill of Rights
Ordinance 1990 although members' views on the specific contents of the Ordinance varied."
48.
The majority of members of the Tsuen Wan DB
supported the BOR and its early implementation. Since the
freeze period might give rise to unfair treatment in
certain cases of conflicts with the Bill, the Board
considered it imperative that the BOR should come into
effect as soon as possible after its enactment. The BOR
should be supreme over other laws and no Government
Departments or agencies should enjoy exemption.

The British side of the Joint Liaison Group
and government departments concerned must
maintain a close liaison with China to seek
its
consensus
before the introduction of the
BOR;
