HMG's aim is to preserve the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong in a way acceptable to Parliament and to Hong Kong. We are not making any rigid preconditions as to how this might be achieved and are receptive to any proposals that meet this criteria. We are concentrating on the talks and do not regard their outcome as prejudged by anything that may be said outside. No possible solution that is acceptable to the people of Hong Kong and to Parliament can be ruled out.
