In reply to a supplementary question from the Hon. P.C.Woo,

the Financial Secretary said the government was aware of the comments

made in the recent debate in the House of Commons on the Merchant Shipping

Bill.

"Some of the comments made were inaccurate and others offensive

and are to be deplored," Mr. Haddon-Cave said. "And I can categorically

deny the charge that the Hong Kong government is seeking to establish

a Hong Kong Register with standards which are lower than those applicable to British registered ships."
