belonging. As for the general public we should also try to enhance the general public's civic education in families, in the neighbourhood
and in the district level so that this will tie in with the
Government's efforts.

Finally, I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the fact that the White Paper did not mention anything about the membership of the Executive Council. We know that the membership of the Executive Council is closely related to our political reform and
it is indeed regrettable that this point has been omitted in the White Paper. I must stress one point. There should be representatives from the grass route level in the Executive Council so that the members of the Executive Council would show more concern for the public and bring
more good to Hong Kong.
Sir, with these remarks I support the motion.

MR. PETER POON: Sir, I atirely agree with the
21 objectives of the development of representative government in Hong Kong
mentioned in Chapter 1, paragraph 5 of the White Paper on the debate. Hong Kong is a unique place. The adoption of any single system of government in the world may not be suitable to us or in our best interests. I firmly believe we should strive for evolutionary changes
with a gradual and prudent approach. Hong Kong has no natural resources apart from its hard working people and therefore we should not venture into any changes without the wide support of our people and recognition of the political realities and consequences of any such changes on the community as a whole and the smooth transition
to 1997 and beyond.
