Unfortunately, due to an oversight arising from absences in our Legal Executive Section, the amendments which were made to the Letters Patent and Royal Instructions last year
(relating to the Elected LegCo President and CBF's ExCo membership) did not receive the Queen's signature before we informed you that they could be gazetted. While this, is

Yours ear,
