Secretary for Constitutional & Mainland Affairs Stephen Lam says the Government will arrange another meeting with the Alliance for Universal Suffrage this month to discuss the 2012 constitutional reforms package.

After a Legislative Council meeting on the package of proposals for the methods for selecting the Chief Executive and for forming LegCo in 2012 today, Mr Lam told reporters two meetings have been held with the alliance.

"On the last occasion, when they met the Chief Secretary for Administration and myself, both sides agreed we should meet again in May. Some time during this month we will arrange a further meeting to engage one another.

"We believe for dealing with the 2012 constitutional reforms package, continuation of rational dialogue will be conducive to the formation of consensus and to enable Hong Kong's democratic arrangements to move ahead," Mr Lam said.

He said the Government will consider the alliance's formal proposal carefully, adding it is ready to engage the alliance and other political groups.
