Mr. Callaghan asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the present position in Hong Kong and on H.M. Government's intentions regarding the future adminis- tration.
Mr. George Hall: A Military Adminis- tration has been established in Hong Kong under the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Harcourt, and the Chief Civil Affairs Officer, and many of his staff are experi- enced officers of the prewar civil admin- istration. As soon as conditions in the region permit, it is H.M. Government's intention to restore full civil government.
