Industrial action by civil servants [Legco049]
The Basic Law provides that Hong Kong residents will have the right to strike. After 1997, any attempt by the future Hong Kong Government to limit civil servants' right to strike must necessarily be subject to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Some provisions in the Civil Service Regulations might then become unconstitutional. What will the Administration propose to do to deal with this?

Mr. Chow

Chief Secretary (David Robert Ford)
Summary: Chief Secretary (David Robert Ford) replied that the regulations are fully consistent with the right to strike of the civil servants.
