Secretary of State's Speech in the Hong Kong Debate: 16 May
With apologies for the succession of different versions, I now attach the final version of the Secretary of State's speech. This takes account of the comments and suggestions that have been put to us so far. If there are any further essential amendments I should be grateful to have them immediately, please.
I have sent copies to No 10 and to the Home Secretary's office. The Home Secretary is content with the redrafted paragraph on nationality.
