CONSEQUENCE OF RECENT EVENTS IN PEKING.

BUT, WE HAVE ALREADY MADE IT CLEAR, THAT ALTHOUGH A LIMITED SCHEME MAY HELP US IN PRACTICAL WAYS TO DEAL WITH SOME OF OUR IMMEDIATE DIFFICULTIES, IT IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR THE GRANTING OF THE RIGHT OF ABODE TO BRITISH NATIONALS IN HONG KONG. WE WILL CONTINUE TO PRESS OUR CASE FOR AS LONG AS THIS REMAINS THE WISH OF THE HONG KONG

PEOPLE.

SIR, I SUPPORT THE MOTION.
