On 26 July 2011, the Bills Committee appointed to review Hong Kong’s Competition Bill held its final meeting of the 2010/2011 Legislative Council session. The Legislative Council is now in its summer recess period, and the Bills Committee is not scheduled to meet again until mid-October. With just five more Bills Committee meetings scheduled for the current calendar year, and an expectation that the committee will complete its review early in the new year in order to facilitate a Council vote on the Bill in the second calendar quarter of 2012, it seems the fate of the Bill is likely to become clearer very soon. Indeed, many observers believe a signal on the Bill’s prospects is likely to be given by the Chief Executive in his annual policy address scheduled for October.
