Ching Po: A discussion paper for the Basic Law draft will facilitate discussions at the BLDC meeting.

BLDC member Dr Louis Cha: A decision on whether to introduce direct elections to Legco should be postponed until the Basic Law is drafted so

as to ensure convergence between the political

system here and the Basic Law.

BLCC member Man Sai-cheong: The 1987 political review should not be postponed.

(report) BLDC vice- chairman David Li: ̧ Irresponsible criticism directed at Basic Law drafting will undermine public confidence and impede the drafting work. The controversy surrounding the first draft of the structure of the Basic Law is a result of such "irres- ponsible criticism".
