§ 24. Mr. Parryasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he expects the findings of the Turner Committee on trade unions in Hong Kong to be published.
§ Mr. LuardProfessor Turner expects to complete his final report during the early summer. A decision on whether it will be published will not be made until my right hon. Friend has had a chance to consider it.
§ Mr. Parryasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if an interim report has been made by Professor Turner on trade union organisation in Hong Kong; and, if so, whether the report will be made public.
§ Mr. LuardProfessor Turner submitted an interim report on labour relations in Hong Kong in 1977. In view of the specifically provisional and tentative nature of the report, and the fact that much of its contents might well be changed in the final version, it would be inappropriate to publish it.
