Proceeding contribution from Ian McCartney (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on East Asia.


East Asia

On a point of order, Mr. Benton. I am not sure how the guidance was drawn up. The Select Committee report relates to the whole region. If the ruling is as you suggest, and is in line with the advice that has been given, I, as Minister, could not report back to the House on the issues in the region, as I have been instructed to do. This is concerned with the region as a whole; Hong Kong is part of mainland China. The Committee went to the area to do the report on behalf of the House.
