THE DISPUTE OVER POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT?

SIR DAVID:

WELL, I THINK THE TIME HAS COME WHEN WE SHOULD MOVE ON.

IN ARGUING OVER I DO NOT SEE THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE MUCH POINT

YESTERDAY. I INDIVIDUAL SENTENCES IN DOCUMENTS WHICH WERE RELEASED

FOR THINK IT'S WELL TO REMEMBER THAT IN PUTTING FORWARD THE PROPOSALS

PROPOSALS FOR A THE 1995 ELECTIONS MR PATTEN MADE SEVEN PROPOSALS; BOUNDARY COMMISSION, THE VOTING AGE, THE VOTING SYSTEM FOR THE RE- ORGANISATION OF THE DISTRICT BOARDS AND MUNICIPAL COUNCILS, TO GIVE THEM MORE POWER AND AUTHORITY, A PROPOSAL FOR

CONSTITUENCIES COMMITTEE AND PROPOSALS FOR THE FUNCTIONAL LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. ALL THOSE CONSTITUTE A TOTAL PACKAGE 1995 ELECTIONS. AND OF THOSE 7 PROPOSALS, 6 OF THEM HAVE NO WHATSOEVER IN THE DOCUMENTS WHICH WERE PUBLISHED YESTERDAY. NO ONE IS SUGGESTING THERE'S BEEN ANY AGREEMENT OVER THOSE PROPOSALS.

THE

PROPOSALS ELECTION FOR THE

FOR

THE MENTION CLEARLY

/ON THE
