CS Speech on Arrangements for the 1991 Elections:

Legislative Council, 21 March 1990

Today, after a prolonged period of discussion

within the community, in which members of OMELCO have

played an active and vitally important part, I would like

to inform members of the details of our next steps towards

a more directly representative system of Government.

2.

We have already announced that the number of

directly elected seats in this Council in 1991 will be

increased from the 10 previously provided for in the 1988

White Paper to 18. In considering the composition of the

rest of this Council, the challenge to us has been to set

in train a process of reform which will take us smoothly

through the transition years. I hope members will find

that what is proposed achieves this objective.

CONFIDENTIAL
