We see no need to provide the draft Order for the
Tegislative Council because
(a)
arrangements proposed for the second phase
have been explained in detail to Members in
February and March 1993, and they have been given ample opportunities to comment on the
matter; and
(b)
it would not be appropriate to release the
draft Order and debate it in public before it goes to Parliament.
