TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1985
+AND IF I WAS TO OUTLINE ANY PARTICULAR OPTION TODAY, I'M SURE YOU WOULD ALL WRITE TOMORROW THAT THAT IS THE ONE I FAVOUR. SO I THINK WE WILL APPROACH IT WITH AN OPEN MIND.
+AGAIN, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF CHANNELS OF REDRESS ALREADY. AND AS I SAID IN MY SPEECH TO THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, WHAT WE WILL PRODUCE WILL BE A SUPPLEMENT TO WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE RATHER THAN A REPLACEMENT AS I SEE IT, SIR EDWARD SAID.
ASKED WHETHER THERE WAS A NEED FOR MORE OFFICIALS TO SIT IN THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL AS SOME OF THE QUESTIONS WERE NOT ANSWERED DURING THE LAST MEETING, SIR EDWARD POINTED OUT THAT IT WAS ONLY THE FIRST MEETING AND THAT COUNCILLORS WERE HAVING TO GET USED TO THE NEW SYSTEM.
+1 THINK YOU WILL FIND THAT THE SYSTEM AS IT IS NOW WILL WORK MUCH BETTER IN THE FUTURE AS THEY GET USED TO THE SYSTEM, AND LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS ON WEDNESDAY. I THINK YOU WILL FIND THAT THINGS WILL BE BETTER ON WEDNESDAY AS PEOPLE SETTLE DOWN TO THE NEW SYSTEM,+ HE SAID.
+WE'VE ONLY HAD ONE GO, HE ADDED.
TWELVE QUESTIONS AT LEGCO *****
TWELVE QUESTIONS AND A STATEMENT WILL BE AMONG MATTERS TO BE DEALT WITH IN THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY).
