ANSWER
My rhi friend has
I have received no representations on the general question of the
transition in Hong Kong. Good progress is being made in the
implementation of the Sino-British Joint Declaration. The Sino-
British Joint Liaison Group and the Land Commission have held
successful meetings, and have concluded agreements on a number
of important issues which will facilitate a smooth transfer of
Government in 1997.
