work together over Hong Kong.
In the economic field we hope that the Chinese side will turn their words about preserving Hong Kong's prosperity into deeds and agree soon on financing
arrangements to allow Hong Kong's new airport to be completed.
The same applies to Hong Kong's Ninth Container Terminal, which is already running late because of the delay in reaching political agreement to proceed. On the Joint Liaison Group, Chris Patten sets out in his speech a number of examples of the way in which peoples' lives will be affected in Hong Kong after 1997 if we cannot successfully complete the agenda of technical issues. We would like to see much faster progress
here.

It is likely to be a busy autumn on Hong Kong. We will of course keep Parliament fully informed of developments.
