MR LENNOX-BOYD WILL BE MEETING A VISITING GROUP OF COMMONWEALTH PARLIAMENTARIANS ON 21 MAY. THE MEETING WILL INCLUDE A QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION AND THE DISCUSSION IS LIKELY TO BE WIDE-RANGING. HONG KONG IS NOT LIKELY TO BE A CENTRAL CONCERN FOR MOST OF THE DELEGATES, BUT WE SEE THAT MICHAEL HO (UDHK) WILL BE ONE OF THEM.

THE ISSUE OF DEMOCRACY IN HONG KONG OR THE QUESTION OF HONG KONG COMMONWEALTH LINKS POST-1997 ON THIS OCCASION?
