U.K. PLEDGE TO DEFEND HONGKONG

Firm And Unchallenged Intention Says Minister

COMMONS APPROVES SEATO AND GENEVA AGREEMENT

London, Nov. 8.

The British Foreign Under-Secretary, Mr Robert Turton, told the House of Commons today it was the British Government's "firm and un- challenged" intention to protect Hongkong.

He was replying to Mr William Teeling, Conservative, who asked why Hongkong and Formosa were left out of the Manila Treaty.

Mr Robert Turton said this was because the geographical limit for this treaty was Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific. "But let me make it absolutely clear that the Government's intention is to protect Hongkong," he said. "That remains firm and unchallenged."
