White Paper on Annual Report on HK 1994 to Parliament published
The Annual Report on Hong Kong 1994 to Parliament (Annual Report) has been presented to Parliament by Her Majesty's Government today (Tuesday).
As in past years, the Annual Report has been published in the form of a white paper both in London and Hong Kong. The white paper will be tabled at the Legislative Council tomorrow (Wednesday).
A Government spokesman said Her Majesty's Government had agreed in 1985, during the Parliamentary debates on the Hong Kong Bill, to produce annual reports on Hong Kong and to lay them before Parliament.
The purpose of this series of reports is to keep Parliament informed of developments in Hong Kong regularly.
The Annual Report is the 10th such report. It contains a survey of major events in Hong Kong during 1994.
Topics covered include visits to Hong Kong by members of the Royal Family and Government ministers and visits by the Governor of Hong Kong.
They also include constitutional development, contacts between Hong Kong and China, human rights, Vietnamese migrants, migration and nationality, infrastructure, general economic and social conditions, law and order, legal and judicial systems and the civil service.
