NOTES FOR SUPPLEMENTARIES

THE FUTURE OF HONG KONG

1. Her Majesty's Government reaffirm their continuing commitment

to Hong Kong and its people. We and the Chinese Government

share an interest in the maintenance of stability and prosperity

in Hong Kong. Vice-Chairman Deng Xiaoping strongly exphasised,

during my right honourable and noble Friend's visit to Peking,

China's assurances that investors in the Territory need have

no fears for the future.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

2.3)The large influx in recent years of illegal immigrants from

China caused considerable economic and social difficulties in

Hong Kong. A more effective control was therefore needed.

The new measures have proved a success, and the Police and

Garrison have performed extremely well in implementing them.
