13. QUESTION:
Now that Britain's balance of payments position is
much more favourable than in past years, will Britain
consider more extensive investments and joint enterprises in
Hong Kong
ANSWER:
I agree that Britain's balance of payments has much
improved but we are still at a stage in strengthening our
economy when we cannot afford to relax the measures that
have led to this welcome development. Investment in Hong
Kong by private individuals or business concerns in the
United Kingdom is entirely a matter for these individuals
or concerns.
