QUESTION:
Bir Geoffrey, you said that Great Britain......high officials
will go around and lobby the ABBAN countries to draft up an
agreement of their own other than the
"
conference...Hong Kong is
one of the members....do you think in the case of different...with
Britain, Hong Kong will still join in such an agreement?
FOREIGN SECRETARY:
I think that is rather a long-range question built on a
number of hypotheses.
I do not know, I am afraid, of the
particular canvassing exercise you have confirmed but obviously, aS
far as the position bere in Hong Kong is concerned, that is a matter
on which the Hong Kong Government and Her Majesty's Government have
been consulting and will continue to consult closely.
