Starting from March 1, Hong Kong residents could view copies of written submissions from different organizations and individuals whom the Hong Kong Constitutional Development Task Force has met.

According to a government press release Sunday, these copies are deposited in the Public Enquiry Service Centers (PESCs) of five District Offices throughout Hong Kong.

The task force has had a number of meetings with organizations and individuals from different sectors of the community, including the Legislative Council, District Councils, political parties and groups, the legal profession, the academia, trade unions as well as chambers of commerce since its inception in January.

So far, the task force has received more than 20 written submissions from these organizations and individuals.

The government press release said, all the submissions that the task force has received from the organizations and individuals will be published except those who specifically stated that they did not wish their submissions to be made public.
