HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL 5 July 1989

But, we have made it very clear to the British Government that although a limited scheme may help in practical ways to deal with some of Hong Kong's immediate difficulties, it is no substitute for the granting of the right of abode to British nationals in Hong Kong. So we will continue to press our case for as long as this remains the wishes of Hong Kong people.

Sir, I support the motion.

Question on the motion put and agreed to.

Adjournment and next sitting

HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT: At this relatively late time and before concluding, I congratulate Members of the Council on the fact that it is not even later. And owing to the succinctness of speeches, we have got through a long and important debate, in which many Members have spoken in one afternoon. In accordance with Standing Orders I now adjourn this Council until 2.30 pm on Wednesday, 12 July 1989.

Adjourned accordingly at five minutes to Eight o'clock.
