proposed that
t the Hong Kong Government consider

and we
I understand that Mr Royle considers that such
corned well bear it in mine a proposal has merit in principle, L
It would
however have implications for claims for similar
representation by other dependent territories, mods would however, as he had said,
would also be difficult in practice to find a.
It
