MR. SOHMEN: Sir, is preferential treatment given to people
who come to work in PRC-affiliated organisation?
SECRETARY FOR SECURITY: I am not aware of special preferential
treatment being given, because they are two separate matters.
They are those who come in under separate diplomatic and semi-
diplomatic passports and in a completely different category to
those who enter under the one-way entry permit scheme issued by
the Chinese authorities.

MR. DESMOND LEE:
Sir, in addition to one-way permits,
people from China are allowed to visit Hong Kong on two-way
permits. How many such permits are issued each day, and are
two-way permit holders allowed to work in Hong Kong during their
period of stay?
SECRETARY FOR SECURITY:
To answer the second point first, Sir,
they are not allowed to take up employment in Hong Kong during
their stay. This is illegal and if they are caught, they are
of course prosecuted, and I think that really answers your
question.
