White Paper on the Annual Report on

Hong Kong 1987 to Parliament

INTRODUCTION

1.

Her Majesty's Government agreed in 1985,

during the Parliamentary debates on the Hong Kong

Bill, to produce annual reports on Hong Kong and to

lay them before Parliament. The purpose of this

series of reports is to keep Parliament informed of

developments in Hong Kong on a regular basis.

2.

This is the third such annual report. The

first report recorded events from the initialling of

the draft Sino-British Joint Declaration on the

Question of Hong Kong, in September 1984, to the end

of October 1985. The second covered the period from

30 October 1985 to 31 December 1986. The present

report covers the calendar year 1987 and it is Her

Majesty's Government's intention that each subsequent

report should continue to cover a calendar year.
