PQ: FUTURE OF HONG KONG
1.
I submit a draft reply to the PQ put down by Mr Frank
Hooley MP for written answer on 16 June.
2.
See 1356
The draft reply is uncontroversial and has been agreed
by Hong Kong and Peking.
3.
The earlier reply to which it refers is as follows:
'Hong Kong has been raised in a number of ministerial discussions
with Chinese leaders. Both we and the Chinese Government are
studying the question of the future of the territory and both
sides are agreed on the vital importance of its continued
prosperity and stability'.
