House Committee
Dear Dr LEONG,
Changing the Chinese name of the Government House to ![](../agenda/hc0705.gif)
The decision of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to change the Chinese name of the Government House to
![](../agenda/hc0705.gif)
has aroused almost unanimous disapproval among the community.
I propose this issue be discussed at the House Committee meeting on 7 May so that LegCo Members can express their views on the re-naming of this symbolic building. I also hope that the House Committee will urge the Administration to re-consider the re-naming decision and at the same time, to invite the public to give their views on the re-naming proposals.
