HONG KONG: APPOINTMENTS TO THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
Problem
1. Secretary of State's formal approval for the Governor's
proposed appointments to ExCo.
Recommendation
2.
That the Secretary of State should give his approval. I submit a draft telegram.
Background and Argument
3. The Governor discussed with the Secretary of State during his flying visit to London in September his proposals for re-shaping ExCo. He has decided to separate the non-official
membership of LegCo and ExCo. He will take the opportunity to
make a clean sweep of the present non-official members of ExCo, with the exception of Baroness Dunn and Mr Purves.
their place, the Governor proposes to appoint people who have
established a reputation in their own fields and who have no party political affiliations.
