MR GOODLAD'S VISIT TO HONG KONG, 24-28 MAY
Checklist for meetings with OMELCO and the political parties
1995 LegCo Elections
- Aware that decision on the number of directly-elected
seats should be made soon. Other arrangements depend on it. Will be one of the subjects at the top of Mr Patten's
agenda. We will need to take decisions on a whole range of
issues when he has formed his view after consulting widely
here.
British Government is committed to discussing this and other arrangements for the 1995 LegCo elections with the
Chinese Government.
We want to see a steady and sustained expansion of democracy in Hong Kong.
