financial implications and the information is insufficient, etc. You have made your decision in your casting vote.
MR. WONG Kwok-hing (in Cantonese):—Mr. Chairman, originally I have to leave now but I just want to say a few words. I think today you have been very intelligent. You have wisely analysed the views put forward by MR. LEUNG Kam-tao and I have counted that you have explained thrice why you don't want to see confusion in our discussion. Therefore, I hope you can make one more intelligent decision, i.e. to guide our discussion so that it could be conducted smoothly.
CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese):—I have already listened to enough advice from our advisors. I will cast my casting vote in favour of the procedural motion.
Mr. Lai Hok-lim (in Cantonese):—I request that all the votes in favour of or against the motion shall be recorded.
CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese):—Alright. I would like to repeat one more time that my vote is not a political one. You can discuss the issue in the Select Committee concerned in the future. I assure you that we will discuss the issue at the SCWC meeting. Is that alright? Please raise your hands again. For those who have left the meeting, we will take down their names for them. Let's have the Secretary to record the votes. For those who are in favour of the procedural motion, please raise your hands. We only have to put a tick against the names, there is no need to write the names down.
MR. STEVEN HUNG Chung-fun (in Cantonese):—The job of taking down the votes is very easy. The motion has already been carried. What we need to do is just to record what we can take down. If we are not sure about the decisions of other Councillors, I don't think we should record for them. All in all, we have a tie of 15 to 15. The results of this round of voting may be different from that of the last round because some people who had originally raised their hands may not want to indicate their decision now. Anyway, the result of voting just now was 15 to 15 and the Chairman had cast his casting vote. This round of voting is just for record purposes.
MR. STANLEY NG WING-fai (in Cantonese):—Mr. Chairman, I have a question on the Standing Orders: if I don't attend a meeting, can I have another Councillor voting on my behalf?
CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese):—No.
MR. STANLEY NG WING-fai (in Cantonese):—If the answer is 'No', please bear this in mind.
