THE SENIOR MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, THE HON LYDIA DUNN, SAID THAT COUNCILLORS WHO ARE ALSO MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL WILL FULLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THE DEBATE TODAY (WEDNESDAY) ON THE SURVEY OFFICE REPORT.

MISS DUNN SAID THOSE WHO WERE MEMBERS OF BOTH COUNCILS HAD DECIDED THAT IT WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR THEM ΤΟ SPEAK ON THE MOTION.
