ANSWER
We support the Governor's proposals, and remain ready to discuss them with the Chinese Government, with the aim of reaching an understanding. But we cannot delay the legislative process indefinitely. A decision will be taken on introducing the legislation into Hong Kong's Legislative Council in the light of developments.
