The President of the Legislative Council, Tsang Yok-sing, has played down comments by a senior mainland official on political reform.

On Friday Basic Law Committee Chairman, Li Fei, said if reform proposals were ultimately vetoed by LegCo, the lawmakers who voted against them would have to take responsibility for the lack of political development here. 

Mr Tsang, though, said it was meaningless to say who should be held responsible, should the proposals fail to pass.

Pro-democracy lawmakers have threatened to veto the reform proposals if they do not meet international democratic standards.
