CONCLUSION
My Lords, the Government is committed to ensuring the success
of the Sino-British Agreement. We believe it is a good agreement For the Poople of Hong Kong and it is up to all of us to make
it work. This will be our aim in the years ahead to 1997.
The draft Order in Council is a key stone in the building of that agreement. We shall, as promised, consider carefully all the views expressed by your Lordships today and by the people of Hong Kong. We shall consider particularly carefully the points which relate to the draft Order. Having done so we shall invite your Lordships to approve the draft of a nationality Order which we hope to lay before Easter.
