as far as businessmen and investors are concerned, I

can assure you that our rules on admission and settlement

are broadly comparable with those of the countries

United States, Canada and Australia

Investors from Hong Kong, and indeed from any other part

of the world, are welcome to come to Britian, and many

have already taken advantage of the opportunities which

our flexible rules provide. If you can give me any

specific examples of Hong Kong businessmen who have been

deterred from coming to Britain to invest, I would be

most interested to know of them.
