COMPOSITION OF SAR LEGISLATURE
[For use with the Governor, ExCol
Your views on composition of legislature which best
reconciles our various requirements?

What would be best mix of components?

Is concept of GEC viable, acceptable in Hong Kong?
authority of those selected/elected will depend on its size and composition
necessary to have officials as members of legislature?
alternative ways of allowing officers to participate?
