The weekly meeting involving Hong Kong’s top officials during which a decision was made to defer a key part of a controversial housing project in January 2014 is the government’s high-level clearing house for major issues.
The meeting, which has been in place since Donald Tsang Yam-kuen was chief executive, is held every Monday morning and usually lasts two to three hours.
