YOUR TELNO 1295: HONG KONG: NATIONALITY
1. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND MESSAGE ABOUT THE SECOND READING DEBATE ON THE NATIONALITY BILL. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE ARE ALL DELIGHTED BY THE OUTCOME.
2. I AM VERY CONSCIOUS THAT LAST WEEK'S SUCCESS IN THE HOUSE OWED A GREAT DEAL TO YOUR ADVICE AND SUPPORT AND TO THE HARD WORK OF ALL THOSE CONCERNED IN THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT.
PLEASE PASS MY PERSONAL THANKS TO ALL THOSE
INVOLVED IN THE PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE DRAFT LEGISLATION IN HONG KONG AND, IN PARTICULAR, TO MR DONALD TSANG.
3. WE STILL HAVE SOME DIFFICULT HURDLES TO CROSS BEFORE THE BILL GOES THROUGH. BUT WITH THE OUTSTANDING SUPPORT WHICH WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT, WE CAN FACE THE NEXT STAGE WITH CONFIDENCE.
