The Legislative Council House Committee issued an annual summary today (13th). Chairman Li Huiqiong said that the operation of the meeting would have been unprecedentedly disturbed in the past year. The holding of 17 special meetings of 28 hours in total failed to elect the chairman and vice-chairman. During the period when 93 subsidiary legislations have expired, the internal committee has not been able to study whether to set up a subcommittee for deliberation. The internal meeting had only passed 17 bills until July 9, which was far behind compared to the 29 bills passed at the same time in the previous session. There are currently 12 bills waiting to be processed. Li Huiqiong mentioned that because of the time required for the review work of four bill committees this year, they could not be completed in time before the end of the session according to the schedule, so the review work was stopped. She described the situation as never before, and urged policy bureau chiefs to do a good job of consulting before submitting bills to the Legislative Council in the future. In particular, controversial policies affecting people's livelihood should be communicated with members of different parties.

Li Huiqiong said that he has four regrets as the chairman of the internal conference during the current session. She pointed out that the internal meeting will unfortunately become the main battlefield of parliamentary struggle. Many livelihood bills have been sacrificed, such as the vacancy tax and the bill for prolonging the statutory maternity leave. The second is the tight administrative and legislative relations. The government has not yet responded to the request for the establishment of unemployment assistance; third As the violence escalated inside and outside the Parliament, some members threw stinky water in the conference hall. Finally, it failed to increase mutual trust between Hong Kong and the central government.

Li pointed out that there will be new means of resistance within this year, and the Pan-President delayed the election of the chairman three times. Members who think that they are responsible will consider whether the existing rules of procedure are sufficient to cope with the new situation in the parliament. I believe the next parliament will consider and propose amendments according to the actual situation.
