FABIAN PAMPHLET ON HONG KONG
1. The PUS has seen the Submission of 23 January by Mr Milton in Hong Kong and Indian Ocean Department.
2. In forwarding it to Lord Goronwy-Roberts he has minuted as follows:-
"If questioned, News Department may draw on the facts (repeat facts) in the Hong Kong Government's Press Release: but they should not, in my view, subscribe to its tone. I think that it is a shade too defensive of the status quo.
We need not attack that status; but nor should we, I believe attack even if only by implication the author of the pamphlet.".
