In the past year issues such as the increasingly strained relationship between the Legislature and the Executive Authorities, filibustering by a few Members in Council and committees, differences and polarized opinions among political camps often took the limelight. Despite these challenges, Members continued to carry out work in scrutinizing legislative and financial proposals, monitoring the Government and giving views on public policies and matters of public concern. In the 2013-2014 legislative session, the Council passed 19 bills, 10 with amendments. Some of these bills, such as the Stamp Duty (Amendment) Bill 2012 and the Stamp Duty (Amendment) Bill 2013 which implemented measures to address the overheated property market, have far-reaching effects across society.

  • Legco Panel on Transport Visits Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link Northern Connection (With Photos)
    LegCo Panel on Transport visits Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link Northern Connection (with photos) The following is issued on behalf of the Legislative Council Secretariat: ​The Legislative Council (LegCo) Panel on Transport conducted a visit to the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link (TM-CLKL) Northern Connection (Northern Connection) today (December 17) to better understand the latest development of the project before its commissioning on December 27 this year. Members first received a briefing by the Project Manager/Major Works (Special Duties) of the Highways Department, Mr Chris Wong, on the project of the Northern Connection and the arrangements for its commissioning. Members then visited the South Portal and the lowest point of the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Tunnel to learn more about the innovative engineering solutions and the key features of the tunnel. One of the key features is the service gallery under the tunnel's carriageway where drainage pipes, fire mains, power supplies and control systems are installed, so that part of the daily maintenance works can be carried out at the same time during tunnel operation. The TM-CLKL is the route between the Northwest New Territories and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB), the Hong Kong International Airport and North Lantau and it comprises the Northern Connection and Southern Connection. The Northern Connection is 5.5 kilometres long, of which about five km is the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Tunnel, a subsea road tunnel. The Southern Connection connects the HZMB Hong Kong Port and North Lantau on viaducts, was opened to traffic in October 2018.

  • The 2017 Election Reforms (Update)
    Prospects for Democracy in Hong Kong: The 2017 Election Reforms (Update) (name redacted) Specialist in Asian Affairs July 1, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44031 Prospects for Democracy in Hong Kong: The 2017 Election Reforms (Update) Summary The United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 (P.L. 102-383) declares that, “Support for democratization is a fundamental principle of U.S. foreign policy. As such, it naturally applies to United States policy toward Hong Kong.” China’s law establishing the Hong Kong Special Administration Region (HKSAR), commonly referred to as the “Basic Law,” declares that “the ultimate aim” is the selection of Hong Kong’s Chief Executive (CE) and Legislative Council (Legco) by universal suffrage. The year 2015 may be a pivotal year for making progress toward the objectives of both of these laws. It could also be a year in which the democratic aspirations of many Hong Kong residents remain unfulfilled. Hong Kong’s current Chief Executive, Leung Chun-ying, initiated a six-step process in July 2014 whereby Hong Kong’s Basic Law could be amended to allow the selection of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage in 2017. On August 31, 2014, China’s National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) completed the second step of the reform process when it issued a decision setting comparatively strict conditions on the adoption of universal suffrage for the 2017 CE elections that seemingly preclude the nomination of a pro-democracy candidate. The third step of the process, the CE submitting legislation to Legco to amend the Basic Law, came on June 17.
