The Hong Kong Governmerit has developed, over many years, a huge network of advisory boards and committees on every subject of importance to government. Over 400 such boards and committeas advise both the government as a whole and individual departments. Table below, you can see some of the best-known. advisory boards or committees.

Between these two extremes, there is a wide variety of consultative bodies and consultative procedures for communication between the people and

As well as government officials, about 5000 members of the public serve on the boards and committees. They are chosen for their specialist knowledge (e.g. lawyers, doctors, businessmen) or perhaps for their known interest in the community (e.g.

district-board members). New members are frequently included so that the boards keep active and up-to-date.
