OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN A REPORT WHICH IT HAS JUST PUBLISHED. THE RELEVANT EXTRACT SAYS: QUOTE WE RECOMMEND THAT THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT SHOULD TAKE THE LEAD AT THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY PARTICULARLY WITH OUR EC PARTNERS AND IMMIGRANT-RECEIVING COUNTRIES SUCH AS AUSTRALIA, CANADA AND THE U.S.A. IN ESTABLISHING THE DEFINITE GUARANTEES WHICH COULD BE PUT INTO PLACE IN THE YEARS AHEAD.
WE BELIEVE THE ACCOMMODATION OF EVEN SEVERAL MILLION PEOPLE FROM HONG KONG WOULD BE QUITE POSSIBLE IF SHARED AMONGST THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY. UNQUOTE.
6. IN MY TALKS HERE I SHALL BE LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT I HAVE DRAWN YOUR ATTENTION TO HONG KONG'S CONCERN AND THAT I LOOK FORWARD TO 'DISCUSSING WITH YOU IN PARIS HOW THAT CONCERN CAN BE ADDRESSED BY ALL
OF US.
