MR EVAN LUARD
My right hon Friend is satisfied that, although drug addiction remains one of Hong Kong's major problems, the action now being taken by the Hong Kong Government is on a scale commensurate with the problem. Eradication of drug abuse is a long-term goal, but there are encouraging signs that the problem is being contained.
