The following is issued on behalf of the Legislative Council Secretariat:
The agenda of the Legislative Council (LegCo) meeting, scheduled for tomorrow (November 17) at 11am in the Chamber of the LegCo Building, has been revised. In addition to the original agenda items, Hon Frederick Fung will move a motion on Adjournment under Rule 16(2) of the Rules of Procedure of LegCo. The motion states: "That this Council do now adjourn for the purpose of debating the following issue: Zhao Lianhai, who founded 'Kidney Stone Babies' to help those Mainland children who are victims of tainted formula milk and their parents to defend their rights, was sentenced to two-and-a-half-years' imprisonment by a Beijing court earlier, causing people both inside and outside the country to express serious concern and question whether the sentence is a contravention of the people's rights enshrined in the Constitution."
For the original agenda items of tomorrow's Council meeting, please refer to the press release "LegCo to debate a motion on reviewing the coverage of the safety net" issued yesterday (November 15) by the Secretariat.
