Drafting committee member Szeto Wah: There is no conflict of views among members on the formation of the consultative committee.
* Drafting committee member Liu Yiu-chu: Mr Justice Li has given a clear explanation for the literal meaning of the term "consultation", but the question is that the term should not be taken only literally as it has a particular historical, sociological and
political background in China. The term is new to HK people and Mr Li's explanation does not enable her to see how "democratic consultation"
will work.
An association of NT commerce and industry has decided to set up a
concerned group to
collect and reflect the
views of the indus-
trialists and businessmen in the NT on the Basic
Law.
