WHITE PAPER ON THE URBAN COUNCIL

Colonial Secretary Moves Motion

**

***

filetpa PRIL

The Hon Colonial Secretary, Sir Hugh Norman-Walker, today moved

that the Legislative Council welcomes the White Paper on the Urban Council

which was tabled on October 13 last year.

He said that since the White Paper on the future of the Urban

Council was laid and published for general information in October last year

he had noted "the general lack of any well-defined or generalised reaction"

to its proposals.

"However, the Members of the Urban Council have considered the

White Paper in detail and their Chairman has been good enough to forward their

comments to the Colonial Secretariat.

"I understand that both the elected and the appointed Members of the

Urban Council have had discussions on the White Paper with the Unofficial

Members of this Council whose views I look forward to hearing today," he said.
