Tuesday 12 April
Mr Ray Whitney (Wycombe): To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what trading benefits Hong Kong gains from its status as a dependent territory of the United Kingdom.
Mr Douglas Hurd
As a British Dependent Territory, Hong Kong is represented on the
British Delegation to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
By virtue of this, it also participates in the Multi-Fibre
Arrangement.
Where the United Kingdom is a member of international
commodity agreements, these can be extended to include Hong Kong.
