EGISTRY tution Take
We learn from our contact that about 12 MPs attended the meeting held last Wednesday. This is considered to be well attended for this particular group. Sir Jerry Wiggin (Con) was in the chair. Ambassador Ma Yuzhen and Counsellor Hu Chuanzhong were also present.
2.
The meeting opened with Ambassador Ma asking Counsellor Hu to read out a statement. Counsellor Hu read out the HKMAQ press release dated 3.12.93. Ambassador Ma then made the following comments
(a)
UK was responsible for the breakdown of the Sino- British talks on Hong Kong;
(b)
China did not agree with the electorate bill tabled in LegCo on 15.12.93;
(c)
the PWC would expedite its work;
(d)
there would be no through train.
3.
Sir Jerry Wiggins responded and said that the British government did not harbour any ulterior motives in retaining colonial influence post 1997 in their support behind the Governor of Hong Kong. The aim of HMG was to discharge honourably the obligations under the Joint Declaration. All the MPs present followed the same line. Ambassador Ma contrasted the reactions of MPs to the reactions of Lords when the oral statement on Hong Kong was delivered recently in both Houses.
He asked rhetorically 'where do we go from here?'. He then answered and said that the work of the PWC would be expedited. When asked as to whether the PWC would organise elections before 1997 the Ambassador said no. The notion of trade retaliation was not mentioned on this occasion.
