Statements/Comments
by others
(Sing Tao Jih Pao): There was no need to dwell too much on the development of representative government because after 1997 Peking would not allow it to continue. Current discussions on the Basic Law had concentrated too much on the legal and political aspects at the expense of the economy.
Communist Papers
(Tin Tin Daily News): HK people wanted stability and there was no evidence to show that the majority of them favoured reforms.
Non-communist Papers
(Ming Pao, in its fourth and final part of a series on political reform): To ensure rule of law and to maintain confidence in HK, a system of checks and balances between the
chief executive and the legislature was needed.
(report) (Source of Financial Daily): The Government was planning
to propose an increase in the number of Legco Unofficials in the 1987 review. It hoped to keep the functional con- stituencies intact, though the number of
seats would be increased considerably.
