Miss Dunn: Sir, how was this review undertaken and did it
involve unofficial members who have had the experience of
serving on Government boards and committees?
The Chief Secretary: No, the review is conducted by the
Secretary for Administrative Services and Information.
Mrs. Chow: Sir, with reference to paragraph 3 of the Chief
Secretary's reply on the reduction of the size of official
representation on committees, is Government satisfied that
it will not achieve the undesirable effect of widening the
gap between the officials and the unofficials and thereby
reducing the former's sense of involvement and purpose in
the carrying out of their public duties?
The Chief Secretary: Sir, I am quite sure we will avoid
that unwelcomed consequence. It is only where there is
unnecessary duplication on committees of the official
representatives that we will reduce the official representation.
Dr. Ip: Sir, during the review, has Government made proposals
for changes such as introducing and increasing as the case
may be membership through election from professional
organisations or functional constituencies?
