SELECT COMMITTEE OF HONG KONG 24 MAY 1989

PAGE.054/056
MR RENTON (CONT);
But you have been briefed in detail about the
arrangements in this area, both in closed session I
believe with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and also
by the Governor of Hong Kong.
The arrangements are very sensitive,
I do not think
that I can go any further and run the risk of breaching
confidentiality in an open session, notwithstanding the
conteats of that recent Guardian article.
But certainly if there are still any specific
questions that you would like to direct to myself I would
gladly answer them on another occasion and if you think it
more appropriate to direct them to the Foreign and
Commonwealth Minister I am sure the reaction would be
exactly the same.
I appreciate your concern on the issue and on what
you were told in Hong Kong.
CHAIRMAN:
There is a Division in the House and we shall have
to bring this hearing to an end. Mr Shore you have got
about a minute to ask a final question.
