HONG KONG

Early day motion 190, tabled 1 July 1997 by Gerald Howarth (Conservative). Signed by 12 members.

That this House salutes the outstanding success of Hong Kong arising from the matchless combination of individual Chinese enterprise and British commitment to freedom under the law; pays tribute to the distinguished service rendered to the people of Hong Kong by Governor Patten; approves of his courageous and successful pursuit of democratic reform; applauds the great dignity which the Governor displayed in the handing over of the colony; and prays that this unique bequest will continue to flourish over the next 50 years and beyond.

Signatures by party: Conservative 11, UUP 1.
