WIDER PUBLIC ROLE IN ADVISORY BODIES POSSIBLE
****
POSSIBLE WIDER PUBLIC REPRESENTATION, AND TRIMMED OFFICIAL REPRESENTATION IN GOVERNMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEES WERE AMONG PROPOSALS IN THE SEPTEMBER 1985 REVIEW OF THE GOVERNMENT'S ADVISORY NETWORK, THE CHIEF SECRETARY, SIR DAVID AKERS-JONES SAID TODAY.
THE REVIEW, CONDUCTED BY THE GOVERNMENT EVERY TWO YEARS, EXAMINED THE TERMS OF REFERENCE, COMPOSITION AND REPRESENTATIVENESS OF THE 370 BOARDS AND COMMITTEES, HE SAID.
THIS WAS TO PROVIDE AN INFLOW OF NEW IDEAS, AN ADEQUATE REPRESENTATION OF INTERESTS AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE AND A MORE EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF WORK AMONG THOSE APPOINTED TO THE BODIES, HE SAID.
REPLYING TO A QUESTION BY THE HON MRS ROSANNA TAM, SIR DAVID ALSO SAID A FURTHER MEASURE PROPOSED, FOLLOWING THE EXPANSION IN SIZE AND THE CHANGED COMPOSITION OF LEGCO, WAS TO STRENGTHEN THE LINKS BETWEEN BOARDS AND COMMITTEES AND THE COUNCIL.
+WHEN THE TERMS OF OFFICE OF A COMMITTEE EXPIRES, THE OPPORTUNITY WILL BE TAKEN TO INTRODUCE CHANGES TO ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES WHICH I HAVE JUST MENTIONED, HE SAID.
