Delivering his policy blueprint at the Legislative Council on Wednesday, the Chief Executive John Lee outlined a range of measures — from HK$20,000 handouts to promote fertility to cutting stamp duties to help boost the local stock and property markets, and the setting up of a task force to address the problem of subdivided flats.

In his more than three hour long speech, Mr Lee also said patriotic education will be introduced to help strengthen national identity and appreciation of Chinese culture among people here.

And on the issue of governance, Mr Lee said his administration would complete legislation for safeguarding national security under Article 23 of the Basic Law next year.

So what do you think of the measures? How effective will they be? And what else would you have liked to see?
