(a) the creation of a Municipal Council
constituted on a fully representative basis.
which will gradually assume as many of the present
functions of the Central Government as can
appropriately be assigned to it, and
{
(b) certain modifications in the constitution
of the Legislative Council for the purpose of
securing in that body a more direct and a
proportionately increased representation
of the unofficial community.
I have accepted the Governor's view that this
represents the best means of carrying out our policy,
and I propose to make an announcement of these changes
in the House at an early date.
5. I attach a draft of the statement which has been
proposed for this purpose; and which is under reference
to the Governor for any comments on details. I should
be glad to know that you agree with the general lines
of this statement. I will then show it to the Prime
Minister.
