the Colonial Minister in England. For the Governor already had a majority of Official Members, plus without restricting his original and casting Votes. I am confident that Your Lordship will agree that this anomaly

Element,

that at least three new Members should

also be added to the Unofficial Element in the Legislature. There would be the right official, and six Unofficial Members; the Governor,

(as has been stated above.) his original

and casting Votes.

11. With regard to the two Unofficial Members, I submit that the principle

of Nomination which has worked successfully elsewhere should be sanctioned here. The two leading Public Bodies at Hongkong comprising an adequate

representation
