RE-ORGANISATION OF LOCAL ADMINISTRATION:
HONG KONG
The Minister has asked for the Department's
comments on certain proposals for the re-organisation
of the Hong Kong Urban Council which were recently
handed to him by Mr Hilton Cheong-Leen, Secretary of
the Hong Kong Civic Association. These proposals
have been set out in Annex A to this submission and,
for the purposes of comparison with other proposals
dealt with in this submission, they have been set out
in the Annex under five convenient sub-heads:
(i)
Structure of Local Administration
(ii) Franchise
(iii) Composition
(iv) Functions
(v)
Financial Responsibility
2. In order to put the proposals in their proper
perspective, it is advisable to consider them against
the background of the very comprehensive and prolonged
investigation which has been carried out by the Hong
Kong Government since 1966 into the possibility of
re-organising local government in the Colony, and of
the differing views expressed on this subject in the
various reports which have been prepared, studied and
debated in the Colony.
