MR. ANTHONY ROYLE SPEAKS ABOUT HONG KONG
**
Hong Kong's external situation has been described as "good" by the
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs,
Mr. Anthony Royle.
Mr. Royle, who was speaking at a meeting of the Anglo-Hong Kong
Parliamentary Group in London on Wednesday said that internally, Hong Kong
was prosperous, although there were anxieties about the possible erection of
barriers to its export trade.
However, he assured the Group that the British Government was doing
its best to protect Hong Kong's interests.
Members attending the meeting welcomed the fact that the Prime
Minister, Mr. Heath, and the Foreign Secretary, Sir Alec Douglas-Home, were
to visit Hong Kong soon. They believed the visits confirmed the interest of
the British Government in Hong Kong's well being.
Mr. Royle may also be making a return visit to Hong Kong in November.
