"British Government and people have been deeply concerned about what has been happening in Hong Kong this year. Violence of any kind shocks everyone and when it brings harm and suffering to innocent bystanders its especially abhorrent. Government of Hong Kong has carried out its responsibilities to full in maintaining law and order and I would like to pay a very special tribute to all who have been concerned in this. They have performed their duties despite great provocation with firmness and restraint".
