(3)

his deputy, Mr Hurst, will be available if required. I think

this would be useful. I will also attend myself.

3.

Mr Jenkins' visit to Hong Kong and his attack on labour

conditions there is described in Hong Kong telegram No f$6.

This has been incorporated, where appropriate, in the brief.

His approach coincides with Mr Sillars question: "To ask the

Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what

steps he is taking to improve labour conditions in Hong Kong",

which is due for oral answer on 28 February, This may be a

coincidence but the intention in both cases is to criticise

the Hong Kong Government's treatment of organised labour.
