Mr. Faulds: To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage for what reason she accepted the advice of English Heritage to cover
over for perpetuity the site of the original Globe theatre before archaeologists and academics had the opportunity to pursue the
excavations to determine the position and the shape and size of the stage, without further consultation. [21235]
Mr. Sproat: The Globe's remains were discovered in 1989 and part of the site was subsequently excavated and fully recorded; the
exposed material was protected by a temporary covering. The current development proposals do not involve any disturbance of the
Globe's remains. They do, however, provide an opportunity to replace the temporary protection, and it is in respect of that work
that scheduled monument consent was applied for and granted last year. In this particular case, it would not have been open to us,
even if we had wished, to attach conditions to the statutory consent requiring further excavation. Leaving the Globe's remains
buried will keep open the possibility of their being further investigated in the future when this can be done comprehensively and
well. This approach to the remains is consistent with government policy set out in PPG16: "Archaeology and Planning".

Mr. Faulds: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to his oral answer of 15 January, Official
Report, columns 311-12, if he will list the provisions of the joint declaration and the Basic Law which envisage an elected
legislative council for Hong Kong. [17527]
Mr. Hanley: Sentence 49 of the joint declaration and its annexes provides that:
"The legislature of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be constituted by elections".
Article 68 of the Basic Law provides that:
"The Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be constituted by election.
"The method for forming the Legislative Council shall be specified in the light of the actual situation in the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region and in accordance with the principle of gradual and orderly progress. The ultimate aim is the election of all
the members of the Legislative Council by universal suffrage."
"The specific method for forming the Legislative Council and its procedures for voting on bills and motions are prescribed in Annex
II: "Method for the Formation of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Its Voting Procedures."
Annex II to the Basic Law describes the planned development in the composition of the HKSAR Legislative Council in its second and
third terms, progressing to election of 30 seats by functional constituency and 30 by geographic constituency through direct
elections in the third term. It does not specify the level of development after the third term, but does stipulate a mechanism to
enable such further development to be made.
Copies of the joint declaration and the Basic Law have been placed in the Libraries of the House.

Mr. Hanley: The Chinese Government have provided no convincing reasons for replacing the legislature elected openly and fairly in
September 1995 by more than one million Hong Kong people with a body chosen by a hand-picked group of 400 people.
The Government gave a full account of Sino-British exchanges on representative government in Hong Kong in its White Paper,
"Representative Government in Hong Kong" (Cmd 2432) of February 1994.
The Government's position on the provisional legislature is set out in my right hon. and learned Friend the Foreign Secretary's
statement of 20 December 1996 which has been placed in the Libraries of the House.
