Your telegram 901 was considered at FCO internal
meeting with Trench who has concurred in the following
reply.
2. Your six points were taken but we have decided against making those in your paragraphs (A) and (E). 3. In the case of (A), we thought that on the whole
it would be wiser not to attempt to represent the
constitutional position as other than it actually is,
but Trench will raise further with you on return.
4.
In the case of (E) we see the same difficulty in the way of retaining (A) and (B) of the paragraph
omitted.
5. Your remaining points have been taken into account
in varying degrees, as follows : (i)
Your paragraph (B): delete "as appropriate and" in paragraph 4. Substitute colon for full stop at end of paragraph and add "provided that special circumstances (e.g. where the Hong Kong Government is formally represented by HMG) do not require
other arrangements."
