Invitation for public views
8. Members agreed to invite written submissions from members of the public on their views on the Order.
(Post-meeting note: The invitation notice was posted on the Legislative Council website on 15 March 2021.

10. There being no other business, the meeting ended at 2:07 pm.
(Post-meeting note: At the House Committee meeting on 19 March 2021, Members agreed that a Bills Committee should be formed to study the Revenue (First Registration Tax and Licence Fees for Motor Vehicles) Bill 2021 ("the Bill"). As the contents of the Bill were basically the same as those of the Order, Members also agreed that members of the Subcommittee should become members of the Bills Committee in order to facilitate the immediate commencement of work by the Bills Committee, and that it was not necessary for the Subcommittee to continue its work. Subsequently, the Chairman withdrew his notice given earlier on the motion to extend the scrutiny period of the Order. The Bills Committee held its first meeting on 31 March 2021, at which Mr CHAN Kin-por was elected the Chairman of the Bills Committee.)
