WRITTEN ANSWER
Lord BROCKWAY asked Her Majesty's Government:
whether the Governor-in-Council of Hong Kong
has rejected the appeal of Christine Vertucci,
an American lawyer active in support of human
rights and better conditions for women workers,
against the refusal of renewal of her visa;
so, on what grounds; and whether they approve
of this decision. [15 February]
if
Lord CARRINGTON:
The Governor-in-Council decided on
9 February to confirm the Director of Immigration's decision
not to grant Ms Vertucci an extension to stay. It is not
the practice of the Hong Kong Government to state the grounds
for such decisions. This action is the responsibility of
the Hong Kong Government and does not require Her Majesty's
Government's approval.
