LORD SHEPHERD ATTENDS PRIVATE DINNER
Lord Shepherd, Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth
Office, tonight (Tuesday) was guest of honour at a private dinner given jointly
by the Financial Secretary, Sir John Cowperthwaite and the Director
of Commerce and Industry, Mr. D.H. Jordan.
Guests included businessmen, bankers and manufacturers.
The following is the text of the speech by Lord Shepherd :-
"I am delighted to be back in Hong Kong and to be your guest
tonight, especially as it has given me the opportunity to meet so many old
friends.
"My visit forms part of a continuing contact between the Foreign
and Commonwealth Office and Hong Kong. There is between us a constant
exchange of views and ideas.
"We for our part, both Ministers and officials, try to make as
many visits here as possible. And we know that many of you like to come
to London, and that, when you are there, you take the opportunity to let
us know how your thoughts are running.
"This week I am seeing something of what further is being done
in the fields of education, housing and other developments which have so
dramatically changed the face of Hong Kong over recent years.
