HONG KONG: PARLIAMENTARY QUESTIONS: SIR ANTHONY ROYLE MP
1.
Sir Anthony Royle MP (Conservative nine Questions for written answer.
2.
Sir Anthony Royle is a former FCO Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State who had responsibility for Hong Kong. As a member of the Anglo-Hong Kong Parliamentary Group he takes a close and friendly interest in Hong Kong affairs. His most recent previous Question, Flag A which was answered by Mr Luard on 26 October, dealt with contracts
placed by the Hong Kong Government in this country. These Questions are, I am certain, designed to counterbalance the somewhat critical Questions which Mr Frank Hooley MP and Mr Robert Parry MP have recently tabled.
