A GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN SAID TODAY (WEDNESDAY) THAT RECENT PRESS REPORTS ABOUT A STATEMENT MADE BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AND COMMONWEALTH AFFAIRS, MR DOUGLAS HURD, IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS JUNE 3 HAVE BEEN INACCURATE. MR HURD'S STATEMENT CONCERNED APPOINTMENTS TO THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL. IN ORDER TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT, THE GOVERNMENT HAS TODAY ISSUED THE TRANSCRIPT OF MR HURD'S STATEMENT.
MR RENTON: LIKE MANY HON MEMBERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE HOUSE, I WELCOME THE CHOICE OF CHRIS PATTEN AS GOVERNOR. HE IS A FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE OF HON MEMBERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE HOUSE AND I BELIEVE THAT HE WILL BE AN OUTSTANDING GOVERNOR. FURTHER TO THE ANSWER THAT MY RIGHT HON FRIEND THE FOREIGN SECRETARY HAS JUST GIVEN, CAN HE TELL THE HOUSE A LITTLE MORE ABOUT WHAT DECISIONS HE EXPECTS ΤΟ BE TAKEN REGARDING, FOR EXAMPLE, THE FUTURE COMPOSITION OF THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL AND THE NUMBER OF ELECTED MEMBERS ON THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL IN THE RUN-UP TO 1997? OBVIOUSLY, THOSE MATTERS ARE OF CONTINUING AND GREAT INTEREST TO HONG KONG,
/MR HURD
