LegCo Sittings
1996-97 Session

The Council normally meets every Wednesday afternoon while in session. Members may address the Council in either the Chinese or English language during Council meetings, which are recorded verbatim in The Official Record of Proceedings of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong, or the Hong Kong Hansard, as it is sometimes called.

The recording of proceedings is first presented in the original language delivered by the speakers (Floor Version). They will then be translated into the English and Chinese versions separately, and shall be placed on our web site as soon as they are ready.
