Starry Lee will be in the chair when the house committee meets at 2:30pm today. Both sides pointed to external legal advice to back up their claims as to who is allowed to preside over House Committee meetings. The pan-dems' advice, which is that Lee cannot take control and move on to matters other than the election, mirrors that of Legco's in-house legal team. Lee has said she will chair the next House Committee meeting, at 2:30pm today, and they will discuss which legal advice to follow. Kwok said he doesn't want to see anyone getting hurt, and he urged Legco security staff to exercise restraint.
