The new-term Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will hold its inaugural meeting on Wednesday, with a special focus on follow-up support after the deadly fire in Tai Po.

Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu will address the meeting on the HKSAR government's expectations for the eighth-term LegCo, effective interaction between the executive and the legislature, as well as the Nov 26 blaze, which claimed at least 161 lives and displaced nearly 2,000 households.

Chief Secretary for Administration Eric Chan Kwok-ki will move a motion on support and rebuilding work after the Wang Fuk Court fire.

The LegCo will cooperate with the SAR government on “taking forward reform, including to proactively explore and promote the implementation of legislative review and update, enhance the current system and plug the loopholes, promote systematic reform, break down barriers of vested interests”, according to a document on the motion put by the government to the legislature.

LegCo member Chong Ho-fung is set to move a motion on improving the management of building maintenance works, while four other legislators – Kenneth Fok Kai-kong, Chan Hok-fung, Tang Ka-piu and Nick Chan Hiu-fung – will move separate amendments to Chong's motion.

The LegCo will urge the government to reform the building maintenance regime, crack down on bid-rigging in building maintenance works, and step up inspections of building maintenance work sites, according to a document on Chong’s motion.
