THE Government has failed to act on a third of the motions passed by the Legislative Council, according to a survey conducted by the United Democrats of Hongkong.

Party member Lee Wing-tat said this was extremely unsatisfactory and called into question the executive body's respect for the council.

Of the 30 motions which have gained the majority support of legislators this legislative year, the party said only three had been implemented.

The Government had turned down four, done nothing on six and was studying eight.

Five were neutral in wording and did not require the Government to take specific action.

The remaining four were either calls for the Government to maintain its policies or requests which the administration had yet to decide whether to follow.
