profession. Otherwise, it is a sad day for Hong Kong that the people involved in this profession which stands tall in our community and which is the very corner stone of the success of
our legal system, would now be rocking the boat. Sir, may I
compliment and agree with the Chairman of the Bar Association
and the President of the Law Society on their statement that the issue is one that can be perfectly adequately dealt with in Hong Kong and in any event, Hong Kong has to learn to stand on
its own feet. The Legislature of Hong Kong this afternoon is standing on its own feet.
Finally, Sir, may I reiterate again that we have listened and listened carefully, we have studied and studied conscientiously and we have analysed and analysed thoroughly and now we are making a decision this afternoon on the passage
of this Bill. I am sure that we will all learn from this
experience. I have a clear conscience in supporting this Bill because there is no sinister motive which was wrongly accused or implied in some of the statements made by individuals and published by the press.
