DIRECTLY APPLICABLE LEGISLATION, YOU WOULD BE DOING THE VERY THING THAT THE RESERVATION STATES WILL NOT BE DONE. THE SAME WOULD NOT NECESSARILY BE TRUE OF 17(2) IF THE RESERVATION WAS POSTULATED ON THE ENACTMENT OF THE UK RACE RELATIONS ACT 1976 AND THERE IS NO COMPARABLE LEGISLATION IN HONG KONG. BUT IF

7. ARTICLE 22: ADD A NEW PROVISO QUOTE PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS ARTICLE REQURIES THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ELECTED EXECUTIVE

OR LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL UNQUOTE.
