HONG KONG BILL: BACKERS
04c/53 (54)
НКК
167)
1. Because of leave I have only just seen Mr Hum's submission of 28 December which recommended a list of ministerial backers for the Hong Kong Bill.
2.
I am afraid that members of the House of Lords cannot back
a Bill being introduced into the Commons, the names of Viscount Whitelaw and Lady Young will therefore need to be deleted.
3. I am contacting the relevant Government Departments to ensure
that the other Ministers listed do not object to their names being used.
