Attention Glover.
People in Britain are very anxious about the recent incidents along the Hong Kong-China border and are also conscious of the need to support the Colony. This was stated by a Conservative Member of Parliament, Mr. Victor Goodhew on his arrival in Hong Kong yesterday.
Mr. Goodhew who is here at the invitation of the Hong Kong Association will see for himself during his stay here the general conditions in Hong Kong and particularly such matters as trade, industry and housing.
Two Labour Members of Parliament, Tom Driberg and Denis Coe, are also arriving in Hong Kong later this month at the invitation of the Hong Kong Association.
Another Member of Parliament, Philip Goodhart, is making
a private visit to Hong Kong later this week.
Hong Kong's stock market business continued to bloom yesterday. Turnover exceeded seven and a half million dollars. The market closed yesterday on confident note. Trading was brisk on a wide front with utilities in the van of buyer activity. Ends. Inform.
