Since the full and detailed statement made by my hon,
friend the Minister of State last Thursday in another place,
the position has been relatively quiet, apart from minor

The House may remember that in my hon. friend's statement
last week she said that one person had been killed and seventy
demonstrators injured. Following the claim by the Peking
National Daily that two hundred people were killed or injured
on one day alone the Hong Kong Government Information Services
issued a public challenge to anyone knowing of any deaths in
the disturbances (other than the one I have already mentioned)
to produce the names and other particulars of those killed.
So far this challenge has not been taken up. One man who had
been claimed by the pro-Communist press to have been killed on
22nd May appeared perfectly fit in court two days later.
This House will, I am sure, wish to be associated with
the tributes which have been paid to the leadership shown by
