PRIME MINISTER

We have not decided the precise membership of the

Group. It is, of course, an inter-governmental group and

it will, we expect, contain on it Hong Kong Government

officials, but we have not decided the precise membership

of the Group.

No question.

The Governor, of course, will be on it.

The Governor will be on it. I shall be

absolutely astonished if the Governor is not on it!

QUESTION

Prime Minister, Arthur Scargill, a man noted for

his Marxist views, has been trying to bring down your

Government in Britain. Why, after a day in Peking, are

you so convinced of the integrity of the Narxists there?

PRIME MINISTER

ment

This is an agreement which has been entered into

with the Chinese Government. It is in the interests of the

Chinese Government, the British Government and the people of

Hong Kong to honour that Agreement and it is an Agreement

which I believe that the Chinese Government will honour, and

it has been signed in the eyes of the world, and it is a good

agreement. I believe that it will be honoured to the full.
