YOUR FACSIMILE OF 16 JAN: LEGCO QUESTION ON EQUAL PAY FOR MEN AND WOMEN.
1. WE HAVE CONSULTED OUR LEGAL ADVISERS ON YOUR DRAFT REPLY AND SUPPLEMENTARIES TO TAM YIU-CHUNG'S QUESTION.
2. THE ONLY COMMENT WE HAVE CONCERNS THE REFERENCE TO ARTICLE 2 OF THE COVENANT IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF YOUR DRAFT ANSWER: WE ASSUME THIS IS SUPPOSED TO READ QUOTE ARTICLE 7 UNQUOTE. IF YOU ARE INDEED REFERRING TO ARTICLE 2 WE SUGGEST THAT SUCH REFERENCE IS INAPPROPRIATE GIVEN THAT NO RESERVATION WAS ENTERED TO ARTICLE 2 EITHER FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM OR FOR HONG KONG.
