FOREIGN SECRETARY (COITD):
On the first point, I regard that as a matter for the
institutions of Hong Kong.
It is being discussed.
Our concern has been that there should be a Bill of Rights
I think that that is right
include protection for the two relevant United Nations covenants.
Article 39 does do so. That was not parallel to the question of
constitutional development, but as I say, it is there in the draft
Basic Law, How that is reflected in the Bill of Rights and the
arrangements between now and 1997 is a matter for Hong Kong to
and that the draft Basic Law should
decide.
