Select Committee chairman Ip Kwok-him's disclosure that he was shocked by the evidence given behind closed doors yesterday could 'create confusion' among the public, a legislator said.
Lee Wing-tat, of the Democratic Party, said he was unhappy about Mr Ip's revelation.
Mr Lee added: 'As a chairman, he should only talk about facts such as the timing of our meeting. He should not depict his feelings. The public may speculate about what was said in the [confidential government] reports.
'Perhaps he did so because he is a new chairman and does not know the restrictions in the Legislative Council (Powers and Privileges) Ordinance.' The ordinance says no member can disclose evidence from secret hearings without special leave from the council.
Mr Ip had said he was shocked by what was disclosed in the secret meeting at which the Government released details of the ICAC and police integrity reports on Mr Leung.
He later accepted his remarks were inappropriate, saying: 'I was wrong to make a comment. I should not have talked about my feelings.
