NEW LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL SESSION TO OPEN ON OCTOBER 18
The Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose, will give a full review of
Hong Kong affairs at the opening of the new Legislative Council session
on Wednesday, October 18 at 2.30 p.m.
It will be the first formal opening for Sir Murray since he
became Governor last November.
The afternoons of Wednesday, November 1, and Thursday, November 2,
have been set aside for unofficial members to speak to a motion of
thanks for the Governor's address. This gives the members an opportunity
to speak on any matters of public interest.
Official members will reply on Wednesday, November 15 and, if
necessary, on Friday, November 17.
Apart from the Governor's address, there will be other business
during the opening session on the 18th. This will include first and
second readings of bills and the tabling of subsidiary legislation.
The last session of the Legislative Council ended on August 30.
