Isn't it wrong to press ahead with legislation when Mr. Patter is in hospital?
No.
We hope he will be out of hospital and back at work by the time the proposals go to Legco. They are not just his proposals. They are the Hong Kong Government's proposals, which are fully supported by the British Government. ExCo intend that legislation should be put to LegCo before the end of this month.
