REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT: WHITE PAPER

WE REGRET THAT, IN THE RUSH OF THE MOMENT, WE HAD NOT (NOT) YET GOT APPENDIX B TO THE WHITE PAPER ENTIRELY RIGHT IN OUR TUR. TWO FURTHER CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE:

(A) FINANCE ELECTORAL

DELETE

DIVISION

UNDER THE COLUMN HEADED

''ELECTORS

(NOTE 4)'' AFTER ''BANKS'' AND ADD ''ENTITLED TO VOTE AT GENERAL MEETINGS OF THE ASSOCIATION''

(B) UNDER ''NOTES'

•

DELETE THE WHOLE OF PARA 4.

•

2. THE REASON FOR THESE CHANGES IS THAT THE ASSOCATION OF BANKS COMPRISES BANKING INSTITUTIONS AND NOT INDIVIDUALS.

3. JOHN CHAN HAS CONVEYED THESE FURTHER CHANGES BY TELEPHONE TO MS BAILES (ENGLISH VERSION) AND RIORDAN (CHINESE VERSION) IN PEKING.
