Sir,

UMELCO RESTRICTED

DRAFT SPEECH BY DR HON HARRY FANG, CBE, LLD, JP LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL - 12.6.85

Legislative Council (Powers and Privileges) Bill 1985

In the absence of our Senior Member, Sir Roger Lobo,

it has fallen to me to wind up on behalf of my colleagues.

I do not think I can usefully add to the views they have expressed so eloquently and persuasively in the course of

this debate, which reflect in general the many hours we have

spent in discussion in the UMELCO Office on this important

issue.

We are satisfied that, subject to the extensive

amendments agreed, which will be introduced at the Committee

Stage, the Bill before this Council will provide those rights,

duties and obligations which are necessary for the orderly and

lawful conduct of this Council.

On this understanding, Sir, I am pleased to give my support to the unanimous view of my colleagues that this Bill

be read a second time.

UMELCO RESTRICTED
