IS LIKELY THAT THE MEDIA WILL FOCUS UPON THE QUESTION OF FISHERMEN HAVING RETURNED WITH NO MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD (OR A PLACE TO LIVE) BECAUSE THEIR BOATS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED IN HONG KONG.
LINE TO TAKE:
- GRATEFUL TO LORD ENNALS AND MR RAISON FOR BRINGING OUR ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM
www
AS THE FOREIGN SECRETARY HAS SAID, WE WILL BE STUDYING THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS CAREFULLY TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE TO HELP THE FISHERMEN.
