RESTORING HOME STUDENT STATUS
6. LOSS OF HOME STUDENT STATUS WAS WIDELY RESENTED WHEN IT OCCURRED. ITS RESTORATION, APART FROM THE BENEFITS IT WOULD EVENTUALLY BRING TO BRITAIN, WOULD DO MUCH TO RESORE BRITAIN'S IMAGE IN THIS AREA. SIMILARLY, THE INTRODUCTION OF A MAJOR NEW SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME WOULD
GO DOWN WELL.
GUARANTEEING CIVIL SERVANTS' PENSIONS POST 1997 AND THE GENERAL
COMPENSATION SCHEME
7. SUCH INITIATIVES WOULD BOOST MORALE IN CIVIL SERVICE SUBSTANTIALLY
GUARANTEEING MAJOR INTRASTRUCTURAL PROJECTS
8. HMG GUARANTEES FOR NEW PORT AND AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
WOULD PROVIDE A SUBSTANTIAL BOOST TO BOTH LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL
CONFIDENCE.
BRITISH CONSULATE
9. REMARKS IN THE FAC CONCERNING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A BRITISH
CONSULATE IN HONG KONG WERE NOT WELL RECEIVED HERE. INVESTMENT NOW BY BRITAIN IN PRESTIGIOUS OFFICE AND RESIDENTIAL ACCOMMODATION FOR ITS FUTURE CONSULATE WOULD SEND A STRONG MESSAGE OF CONFIDENCE.
