CS' media session to conclude visit to Beijing
**********************************************

Following is the transcript of the media session by the Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Donald Tsang, to conclude his visit to Beijing after his meeting with the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress this afternoon (February 10):

Chief Secretary: I have just met the members of the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and that completed the three sets of meetings we had scheduled to secure in Beijing. We have also discerned from these discussions the matters of concern to the Central Government and we will certainly be discussing those principles and procedures impinging on the constitutional development in Hong Kong further. We will be establishing a webpage to enlist people's views through a questionnaire form. We will be doing it early next week.

Question: You have conveyed the messages of the Hong Kong people. What was their reaction?

Chief Secretary: They have taken it. In fact, they are quite familiar with Hong Kong people's views and in fact familiar with the polls we have taken in Hong Kong. They accepted them. We have given them hard copies, as well as soft copies, of all the representations made to us.

(Please also refer to the Chinese portion of the transcript.)
