A Legislative Council bills committee has finished scrutiny of legislation to set up a joint immigration checkpoint at the future high-speed rail terminus in West Kowloon.
The draft bill, which will see mainland officials stationed at the terminus, was passed amid shouting and chaos, with 30 councillors voting in support and 13 against.
All of the amendments proposed by members of the pan-democratic camp were voted down.
The bill now goes to the House Committee which will submit it to lawmakers for discussion and a vote. It is expected that the draft bill will be put to the full council on June 6.
