Professional Accountants Ordinance

and I found

that the medical profession will after the enactment of the

bills be the only profession so far to have lay members serving Cp.

on their boards and councils. I therefore propose that the Government should consider consulting the other professional bodies regarding the question of introducing lay members into

their boards and councils. The introduction of lay members will serve to ensure that the views of the community at large

are taken into account.

After the enactment of these Bills, I think that the next step is for the Government to further review the constitutions of these boards and councils.

In this

çap

connection, I am glad to hear that my honourable colleague, Dr. Henrietta IP, also shares this view.

With these remarks, Sir, I support the motion.
