HC Deb 27 June 1984 vol 62 cc479-80W
24. Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what specific steps he proposes to take to further the introduction of democracy in Hong Kong.

Mr. Luce

As my right hon. and learned Friend said in the House on 16 May at columns 434 and 476, during the years immediately ahead the Government of Hong Kong will be developed on increasingly representative lines. The Hong Kong Government hope to publish shortly a Green Paper outlining proposals on this subject.

59. Mr. John Browne

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether, during the course of negotiations concerning the future of Hong Kong, the possibility of a joint Anglo-Chinese condominium Government of shared sovereignty was presented as an alternative solution to the surrender of the sovereignty of Hong Kong island.

Mr. Luce

By common agreement between the British and the Chinese Governments, the content of the SinoBritish talks on Hong Kong's future is confidential.
