The Government has condemned the behaviour of some Legislative Council members during yesterday's oath-taking.

In a statement today the Government said the oath-taking by members at the start of the new LegCo term is not just to ensure compliance with the law, but also a solemn promise they make as public officers to the community.

It said some behaved in violation of the dignity expected of LegCo members, or even spoke or acted in an offensive manner, and the Government denounces such behaviour.
