Hope that any understanding reached and recommended to the Legislative Council would be acceptable to all.

Do you really have to enact the legislation for 1995 by the end of this LeaCo session?
in all our Don't want this issue to drag on · interests to resolve it as soon as possible.
Only fair to the community and to those who wish to participate in the elections in 1994/95 to know what the arrangements for these elections will be at the earliest possible moment to enable them to make preparations.
What if the Legislative Council won't accept any understandings reached with the Chinese side?
The Council will have to take its own decisions in the light of the outcome of any talks. Our clear aim would be to reach an understanding on electoral arrangements which are open, fair and which we judge will be acceptable to LegCo.
