HONG KONG: ORAL STATEMENT IN THE HOUSE on 6 DECEMBER

1.

I submit a draft statement (incorporating comments from Hong Kong) together with supplementaries, key facts and a copy of the Governor's 2 December statement.

2. I recommend that the statement be repeated in the Lords. I understand that in Lady Chalker's absence, Lord Henley is available to take this on. The Department will be happy to provide an oral briefing for him on 6 December.
