MR. W. S. CARTER
Following an approach from Mr. Anthony Royle M.P.,
the Secretary of State has agreed to see a
delegation from the Hong Kong Association. An
appointment has been provisionally arranged for
11.30 a.m. on Monday, 29th April. May we please have
a brief for the Secretary of State to reach Private
Office by Friday, 26th April. Mr. Bush of the
Hong Kong Association will let us know in writing
next week any particular points which the delegation
will wish to raise; I understand from Mr. Royle
that they want to talk generally about the political
and economic situation in Hong Kong, and also
express their views on the sort of man whom they
think should be chosen to succeed Sir D. Trench
as Governor when the time comes.

Mr. Royle may accompany the delegation.
Secretary of State would like Lord Shepherd to
attend and I expect he would also wish a senior
official to be present
Mr. Hall or yourself.
