To ask the Secretary of Mr Robert Parry (Liverpool, Riverside): State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if there are any plans to have a directly elected legislative council in Hong Kong; and if he will make a statement.

MR RICHARD LUCE

Hong Kong's constitutional development is kept under constant

review. The development and extension of a system of District

Administration, which contains an elected element, is a

demonstration of this.
