HONG KONG: APPLICATION OF ILO CONVENTIONS

1. Lord Goronwy-Roberts was impressed by the information contained in your submission of 15 March about the application of ILO Conventions in Hong Kong and would like the information recorded in Hansard by means of an inspired written question in both Houses. He suggests a question along the following lines:-

2.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth

Affairs (Her Majesty's Government) what progress Hong Kong has made in applying in full or in part International Labour Organisation Conventions and how this compares with progress attained by other dependencies and Asian countries.

I should be grateful if you would submit a draft answer and reply. Lord Goronwy-Roberts would like Sir A Royle to ask the PQ in the Commons and Lord Weidenfeld in the Lords. This can be arranged by Parliamentary Unit and ourselves.

Bacon.
