I have not raised the status of the two legislators with the Chinese Government. A
senior FCO official met the Chinese Ambassador to the UK on 8 November to discuss
the importance of the Legislative Council to Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy.
The British Chargé d'Affaires in Beijing also discussed these issues with the Chinese
Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs on 7 November. When I visited China from 14 – 17
August, I discussed with the Chinese Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs the importance
of the maintenance of 'One Country, Two Systems'. The British Government will continue
to monitor, and to report to the House on the situation in Hong Kong.
