We do not accept that this legislation is ill-defined in its scope or that it presents a threat to the freedom of speech or the press in Hong Kong.

You may however be assured that we and the Hong Kong Government are continuing to monitor developments on this important issue very closely. The Chief Secretary of Hong Kong stated in the Legislative Council debate on 11 March that the Hong Kong Government will carefully monitor the situation and review the provision in the light of experience.
