That this House recognises the merit of the social and community work of Ms Christine Vertucci among the poor, the homeless, and low income groups in Hong Kong and her campaign for health and safety at work; deplores the decision of the Hong Kong Government to expel her from the Colony without giving a cause for its actions; condemns this arbitrary action and violation of human rights; and calls upon the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to reverse that decision in order to prevent democratic, human and civil rights and freedom of speech and justice in the Colony becoming a mockery and a charade.
As an Amendment to Mr Robert Parry's proposed Motion (Democratic and Human Rights in Hong Kong):
Mr John Spence
Mr Cyril D. Townsend
Sir Albert Costain
Mr Neil Thorne
Mr Bill Walker
Sir Patrick Wall
