HONG KONG: MP'S LETTER
1. I am not too happy about the terms of this submission. I thought that the "Granada" programme produced as much evidence as one might expect on child labour in industrial establishments. It is also the case that they did not use material which constituted if not evidence in a legal sense, at least evidence in a political sense, on the advice of their lawyers. I do not see why we should go out quite so far on a limb in defence of the Hong Kong Government, nor why we should not express our concern at the low level of fines levied against offending employers. I suggest amendments (in pencil) to the draft reply.
