MR. A. ROYLE: I congratulate the h✯ Lady on having
made her statement, and Famoure that all h Ms will join with her
bard
in the tribute shee X to both the police and Govt of Hong Kong.
Will she give an assurance t she will resist any requests made by
h Gs seated behind her to involve the United Nat ns in what is happeng
in Hong Kong and will continue to give full support in the weeks
ahead to the Hong Kong Govt in their efforts to deal with hooliganism
and demands made by Peking? Can she say what protests h bn made to th
the Portuguese MRXXXXXXXX Govt regard hooliganism agnst our consul in
Macao which took place last week?
MRS. HART: A number of the pnts raised by the h G are
really for my rh F the Foreign Secy. In so far as he discusses the
gn of resisting hooliganism in Hong Kong, I h made it clear that
it is the intentn of the Govt here and in Hong Kong to take whatever
steps need to be taken to preserve public order in Hong Kong.
MR. OGDEN:
wal.ot
Wanot my h F agree t the disturbances in
Hong Kong after 11th May were prind pally politically motivated;
that they were closely related to political demonstrations in Peking,
MX Shanghai and Macao? Will she take this oppty to express the
admiratn of the House for the servants of Her Majesty's Govt in
Peking, Shanghai and Macoo?
MRS. HART: I agree with my h F. that the original
Labour dispute gave way to something in wh there was indeed a grt
deal of political motivatn. We must bear in mind here that there are
ideological debates going on about such matters as the cultural
EN revolution among the local Communists in Hong Kong. I h found,
es my h F has obviously found, a number of interpretations here aquat
which
that events in Hong Kong h bn very interesting indeed and I think that
many of the interpretatns h bn considerably relevant to what we know
1
having harpened has been happening.
