§ Mr. Merlyn Reesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with the Government of Hong Kong concerning the new immigration laws in that colony which restrict the freedom of entry of citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies.
§ Mr. Anthony Royle: If the hon. Member is referring to the Immigration Bill which was recently published by the Hong Kong Government but which has not yet been enacted, this Bill has been the subject of correspondence between my 227W Department and the Hong Kong Government since last October. It does not seek to make any change in requirements relation to the freedom of entry into Hong Kong of citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies.
