We see no reason why, as you suggest,there should not now be discussions
in Hong Kong to draw up statements of working principles on the lines you
propose. Naturally it will be desirable for these to be finalised as soon as
possible but, subject to your views, we do not see this as critical to the
success of the cost sharing negotiations. In any case matters are likely to
reference
to arise in the course of the local discussions which will require consultations with
Departments in UK.
