Subject

LegCo Election

in 1995 (Cont'd)

iii) To abolish

functional constituency seats in LegCo in 1995.

DB/MC Chairman who may

raise the subject

Mr LEUNG Kwong-cheong, Chairman of Kwai Tsing DB

Background

Background/Line to take

Mr LEUNG believes that functional

constituencies represent only sectorial interests and therefore should give way to direct elections.

Line to take

Understand this is a matter of concern to some people in Hong Kong but there are others who feel that functional constituency seats have contributed to the work of LegCo and the community. No doubt the HKG will need to consider the views of all sectors of the community as well as the desirability to have convergence with the Basic Law.
