Comments

The "through train" has yet to be discussed at the talks.

Appendix IV

Signed commentary in the Bauhinia

magazine

The BL and the relevant NPC resolution have already clearly spelt out the arrangements for the "through train". Only the NPC, its Standing committee or the SARPC has the power to decide whether more concrete criteria should be set. The "through train" is to converge with the BL and not the existing colonial political structure.
