ADDITIONAL LEGCO MEETING

****

IN RESPONSE TO PRESS QUESTIONS TODAY, A GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN SAID AN ADDITIONAL MEETING OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL WILL BE HELD ON JULY 18 AS THERE IS STILL A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF BUSINESS TO DE CONSIDERED BY THE COUNCIL BEFORE IT ENDS ITS CURRENT SESSION.

HE ADDED THAT THE GREEN PAPER ON REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT WILL PROBABLY BE PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL AT THIS MEETING.

THE PATTERN OF TALKS IN PEKING IN RECENT MONTHS HAS MEANT THAT THE GOVERNOR WAS UNABLE TO BE IN HONG KONG FOR SEVERAL MEETINGS. HOWEVER HE WILL BE PRESENT FOR THE MEETING ON JULY 18.
