Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will consider creating in Hong Kong a city council in place of the existing urban council giving it greater responsibility in regard to finance and administration.

The Governor is now formulating proposals for a degree of reorganisation of the local administration in the colony. These will include proposals relating to the constitution, functions, powers and responsibilities of the urban council.
