to let those people know that in the current flux in the political development of Hong Kong, not speaking

I support the substitution of the
proposed en directly elected seats for the current-
indirectly-elected seats from the District Board constituencies.
I accept the argument that there is no advantage in having two parallel systems of geographical representation" in the Legislative Council. on the make-up of the
will functional constituencies, some groups would no doubt welcome the two additional seats but many other groups, such as the architects, surveyors and planners that
dis sati my colleague Mr. H.K. CHENG has mentioned, are satisfied that they have not been included.
In order not to upset the balance of the legislature at this stage by adding more seats
to take care of the aspiring groups and institutions, 24 I urge that a review should be made prior to 1991. NP 25 I cannot see how we can avoid having a review of our

proposed system of government once the Basic Law is promulgated which is currently expected to take place before 1991. From this point of view, although I
endorse the concept of introducing the ten directly elected seats in 1991, I cannot accept that changes 31 should necessarily stop there. By 1991, we should

have a comprehensive system of government that can be evolved smoothly and progressively towards the government
system for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. In the meantime, I support the decisions contained
in the White Paper for 1988.
