MR. DENNIS CANAVAN:
On 24 May, the members of the Executive and
Legislative Councils came out with the proposal whereby
100% of the members of the Legislature would be directly
elected by the year 2003 and that was a proposed
acceleration of the democratic process compared with the
original proposals which I think were only two-thirds
directly elected by the year 2003, but of course, all this
was before the army's intervention and the terrible events
over the past ten days or so in Beijing.
Do you think AMELCO will reach a revised consensus
in the light of recent events?
SIR DAVID VILSON :
I do not know the answer to that at the moment,
That was the AMELCO pusition that I referred to as being a
significant political event and we have not yet got to the
stage where even that bas been agreed by all the different
political groups.
I do not know whether people will change their minds
as a result of the more recent events but as people in
Hong Kong look at it, I think they will look not simply at
the speed before 1997 and building up something before
1997 but at making sure that what is built goes on after
1997.
