Mr T H H Skeet (North Bedfordshire); To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions he has had with the unofficial members of the Hong Kong executive and
legislative councils about the possible conflict between the grant of limited rights under the British Nationality Act 1981 to Hong Kong citizens and the rejection of dual nationality under Article 3 of the Chinese Nationality Law of 10 September 1980.

MR RICHARD LUCE
It would not be preper for me to comment on the discussions
my right honourable and learned Friend has had with Unofficial
Members of the Executive and Legislative Councils. But I
can confirm that the question of nationality is under discussion
with the Chinese in the context of the negotiations about the
future of Hong Kong.
