Q21 The liberals have said your package is their bottom-line.
How could you reach agreement with China and retain liberal
support?
A21
Legislation will need to be passed by this Council.
Hope this will be done with the widest possible
support, including liberal members. Our objective in
talks would be to reach an understanding which is
open, fair and acceptable to the people of Hong Kong.
I sincerely hope that any agreement which met those
criteria would be acceptable to a broad cross-section
of opinion in this Council and the community.
