DRAFT ANSWER

SECRETARY OF STATE: JIMMY YOUNG PROGRAMME

Yes. There is a lot of British money invested in Hong Kong.

Obviously this is something we have to sort out with the

Chinese. But they themselves are aware of the problem

and their leaders have publicly stated on several

occasions that investors in Hong Kong should "put their

hearts at ease". Our relations with China are excellent

and so the outlook is very good.
