Raison: The problem of illegals? Yes, 1 think I ought to say that the question
of the illegals does not really come within my terms of reference. I
told you at the beginning I am a Home Office Minister. I am concerned
with the, if you like, with the orderly flow of the what I may call the
ordinary refugees, the ones who are likely to come but it isn't really
within my particular realm to make announcements about the illegals
except as I say I can see that they do constitute a very difficult problem.
Reporter: Would you like to comment on the allegations that British and Chinese
Authorities are holding secret negotiations about the future of Hong Kong?
Raison: Well, I saw something in the newspaper the other day produced by something
that I never heard of. It all sounded very far fetched but if anybody wants
to ask questions about relations with China or anything of that kind I
think all I can say you will have the Foreign Secretary coming to Hong
Kong in a few days time, I understand there will be a press conference,
so you really can get it from the, may I use the phrase, from the horse's
mouth, I hope that doesn't sound disrepectful but from somebody who can
speak with very great authorithy on these matters.
