Dear Mr Lavi, Mihai,

ELECTED LEGCO PRESIDENT AND CBF'S MEMBERSHIP OF EXCO

Thank you for your letter of today's date.

Our Legal Adviser is content to revise the additional Instructions in line with the comments made in your letter and I now enclose a final version for your approval.

We have only made one small addition to the Instructions in order to make the language in Clause XXI (B) (1) (c) consistent with the language in Clause XXI (B) (2) (c). The amended version of XXI (B) (1) (c) now reads as follows:

"(c) proposing any policy, measure, bill, vote, resolution, motion or question for debate by and in the Council or any such committee or sub-committee."

The additional words are shown in bold print.

Provided we have your final approval for the revised

additional Instructions deskby 0900Z on 9 December, we should be able to get these amendments to the December Privy

Council meeting. I very much hope, therefore, that you will be content with this final draft.

Yours sincerely, Bondget Pis

Bridget Paris
