Mr Michael Heseltine
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what calculations has he made of the value of United Kingdom assets in Hong Kong.
MR JOHN MAJOR
Information is available only for certain categories. The latest information for direct investment is for end-1987 when the book value of UK direct investment in Hong Kong was £1924m. There is no information on UK portfolio investment by country. Information is available on external
assets and claims on Hong Kong by banks and other financial institutions in the UK. (See Table 14 of the Bank of England Quarterly Bulletin.) At end-September 1989 UK liabilities to Hong Kong were 18781m whilst UK claims on Hong Kong were £18446m.
