Discussions with Japan on the question of Hong Kong's inclusion as a beneficiary in the Japanese Generalised Preference Scheme have taken place over a period of many months. I was glad to have the oppor- tunity of discussing the question myself with Mr Aichi, the then Japanese Foreign Minister, during his viait to London last month. As stated in the communi- qué after these talks, Mr Aichi declared that it was the intention of the Japanese Government to include Hong Kong in their scheme, subject to certain re- strictions and some delay in application.
