(b) that the constitution of the Legislative Council should be modified with the object of securing on that body a more direct and a proportionately increased representation of the unofficial community. Under his recommendation, which I have accepted, the official members will be reduced to seven, and of the eight unofficial members two will be directly nominated by the Municipal Council, and one each by the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce and the unofficial Justices of the Peace, The remainder will continue to be nominated by the Governor,
His Majesty's Government are satisfied that these measures constitute the best means of achieving their genuine desire and intention to give the people of Hong Kong a practical and effective share in the mana;tement of their own affairs.
Ends.
