TAKE OVER THE ROLE PLAYED BY THE SENIOR MEMBER, UNDER WHATEVER TITLE, THEN THERE WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE TO BE AN ELECTION FOR A NEW SENIOR MEMBER. THIS COULD BE AT THE END OF NEXT WEEK WHEN THE LEGCO IN-HOUSE MEETS AGAIN.
6. IN RESPONSE TO PRESS REQUESTS FOR COMMENTS BY THE ADMINISTRATION, WE WILL SAY THAT ALLEN LEE'S DECISION TO STEP DOWN IS A MATTER PERSONAL TO HIMSELF AND THAT THE QUESTION OF A NEW SENIOR MEMBER IS ONE FOR LEGCO MEMBERS THEMSELVES TO DECIDE.
