66. Mr. Pendry

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he next intends to visit Hong Kong to discuss arrangements for the future implementation of the agreement with China on the transfer of sovereignty.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

I have no plans to visit Hong Kong in the immediate future. My hon. Friend the Minister of State the Member for Mid-Sussex (Mr. Renton) visited Hong Kong in October 1985 and again on 23–24 January. I am glad to be able to report that the implementation of the Sino-British Joint Declaration is proceeding smoothly.
