THREE-TIER STRUCTURE WORKING EFFICIENTLY'
*****
THE PRESENT THREE-TIER STRUCTURE - THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,
IS THE URBAN AND REGIONAL COUNCILS, AND THE DISTRICT BOARDS WORKING QUITE EFFICIENTLY AND IT SHOULD BE MAINTAINED, THE GOVERNOR, SIR EDWARD YOUDE, SAID TODAY (THURSDAY).
SPEAKING TO REPORTERS AFTER A MEETING WITH REGIONAL COUNCIL MEMBERS, HE SAID EACH LEVEL HAD ITS OWN RESPONSIBILITIES AND HE SAW NO NEED TO CHANGE IT.
SIR EDWARD NOTED THAT HE HAD HAD A VERY CONSTRUCTIVE AND VALUABLE MEETING WITH THE REGIONAL COUNCIL MEMBERS WHEN A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS WERE DISCUSSED.
ON THE 1987 POLITICAL REVIEW, HE TOLD THE MEMBERS THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS NOW THE TIME TO WAIT AND SEE HOW THE PRESENT SYSTEM WAS WORKING BEFORE STARTING TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION OF HOW IT SHOULD BE DEVELOPED.
+ THE TIME TO INVITE PUBLIC COMMENT WOULD BE AFTER THE PUBLICATION OF THE GREEN PAPER,+ HE SAID.
