FOR LEEKS HKD.
PARLIAMENTARY QUESTIONS RELATING TO HONG KONG.
1. WE RECEIVED TODAY FROM HKGO LONDON COPIES OF 3 WRITTEN ANSWERS GIVEN IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ON 14 FEBRUARY. THESE WERE:
(A) MR. WADDINGTON'S REPLY TO MR. ROBERT PARRY'S QUESTION ON REPRESENTATION RECEIVED ON THE POSITION OF NON-ETHNIC CHINESE
IN HONG KONG AFTER 1997:
(B) MR. RAISON'S REPLY TO MR. ROBERT HARVEY'S QUESTION ON THE APPLICATION OF PENSION ARRANGEMENTS FOR HONG KONG CIVIL SERVANTS:
AND
(C) MR. STANLEY'S INTERIM REPLY TO MR. TOM CLARKE'S TWO QUESTIONS
ON NAVAL FACILITIES IN HONG KONG.
2. WE DO NOT SEEM TO HAVE RECEIVED ANY ADVANCE WARNING ABOUT ANY OF THESE, MUCH LESS AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON THE DRAFT REPLIES. WE FULLY APPRECIATE THAT NOT ALL WHITEHALL DEPARTMENTS ARE ALWAYS
PUNCTILIOUS ABOUT CONSULTING YOU WHEN THEY HAVE QUESTIONS
CONCERNING HONG KONG TO ANSWER, BUT WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU
COULD ENSURE THAT WE ARE AT LEAST GIVEN ADVANCE NOTICE OF ALL SUCH QUESTIONS. AS YOU WILL APPRECIATE, THE SCOPE FOR EMBARRASSMENT, PARTICULARLY WITH SUBJECTS OF THIS SENSITIVITY, IS CONSIDERABLE.
