§ 31. Mr. Mathewasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will give support to the proposed formation of a development corporation in Hong Kong.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThis is a matter in the first instance for the Government of Hong Kong to consider.
§ Mr. MathewWill my right hon. Friend draw the attention of the Government of Hong Kong to the advantages of the establishment of such a body, which are twofold: first, to co-ordinate the industrial production of Hong Kong, and, secondly, to harmonise United Kingdom and Hong Kong industrial production when there may be conflict?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI know that it has been arranged that the member who brought this idea forward should put up a plan to the Trade and Industry Advisory Committee.
