Mr Robert Parry (Liverpool, Scotland Exchange): To ask the Prime Minister, if she will make a statement on her recent visit to Hong Kong.
The main purpose of my visit to Hong Kong was threefold
to demonstrate Britain's commitment to the people of Hong Kong,
to hear their views on the future, and to see how things had
changed since my last visit in 1977. My programme enabled
me to meet a very wide cross-section of people, including
British servicemen and their families. My visits to
Castle Peak power station and the Mass Transit Railway gave
me a very good idea of how Hong Kong continues to thrive
and develop.
All in all, it was for me a most valuable visit.
