Pro-democracy legislator Dennis Kwok, vice-chairperson of the House Committee, announces:

1) He has the right to chair the House Committee meetings. Starry Lee's chairing of the meeting as the "former chairperson" and a candidate for the role of "chairperson" is illegal and violates the house rules of the Legislative Council.

2) Denounces pro-Beijing legislator Aron Kwok's physical assault on pro-democracy legislator Ray Chan by dragging him across the chamber.

3) He has instructed security to expel Starry Lee from the chamber, but security did not follow his instructions, and instead only followed Lee's orders.

4) The expelled pro-democracy legislators can now re-enter the chamber.
