COMPATIBILITY WITH THE INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL

RIGHTS

I do not consider that the Film Censorship Bill is incompatible

with the United Kingdom's obligations under the International

Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

HONG KONG'S PREVIOUS ARRANGEMENTS WERE NOT LAWFUL

HKG acted to put the vires of their film censorship provisions (which had operated without legal challenge for 30 years) beyond legal doubt.
