CONSULTATIONS WITH THE GOVERNOR OF HONG KONG
25 November, 1969
Kowloon Walled City and the Adjoining Areas
The Political Adviser has recently sent us a paper
setting out the proposed policy on the Kowloon Walled City
and neighbouring areas. I suggest that we might take advan-
tage of the Governor's visit to underline our misgivings about
one feature of these proposals, possible action against the
communist schools inside the Walled City itself. I attach
a paper which explains the issue and might serve as a basis
for discussion.
2. I recommend that at the meeting we should simply indicate
to the Governor that our reply to the Political Adviser's letter,
while giving the proposals our general blessing, will express
our misgivings about action against communist schools inside
the Walled City, and express the hope that we will be consulted
again when the Schools Steering Committee has examined the
problem and before action is taken.
BACKGROUND
3. More general background is to be found in the bulky papers
with file No. HKK 1/31.
