HC Deb 13 July 1971 vol 821 cc68-9W
Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will consider the institution of free education for the children of the English-speaking population of Hong Kong.

Mr. Anthony Royle

The cost of education at English language schools is over three times the cost in equivalent Chinese language schools. The policy of the Hong Kong Government is that the Government subsidy should be the same for all schools offering courses at comparable educational levels
