Government to consult public on Article 23 legislation
Chief Executive John Lee will hold a press conference on Tuesday to announce the public consultation on national security legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law.  Secretary for Justice Paul Lam and Secretary for Security Chris Tang will also attend the press conference at government headquarters in Tamar.  The CE said last week that he would lead a publicity campaign to inform the public about the new national security legislation, which the government plans to introduce by the end of the year. The government has said it will submit a bill to the Legislative Council to enact such legislation, as required by Article 23 of the Basic Law, and a draft is expected to be presented soon.
