Will the Government be discussing Article 23 of
the Basic Law with the Chinese and, if so, when?
Our consideration of Article 23 is at a very
preliminary stage. I am not able to give a fuller

What will be the likely penalties for Article 23
offences?
treason?
will they include the death penalty for
9.14%.
as for Q.14.
Is Article 23 of the Basic Law compatible with
Article 39 of the Basic Law (provisions of ICCPR
and the International Covenant on Economic, Social
and cultural Rights should remain in force)?
