1. Your manuscript minute of 10 September below refers.
2. EID, in close consultation with me, have prepared a submission which incorporates most, if not perhaps all, of the points in paragraph 3 of Mr Murray's minute of 9 September.
The submission, which is routed through Mr Fretwell and yourself to the PS/PUS, PS/Lord Goronwy-Roberts and the Private Secretary, recommends a pretty tough line on Hong Kong, though the Governor would be given the opportunity to come home to elaborate his case. Ι believe that the line taken is not unreasonable -
hence my concurrence in the submission- and you may like to know that Mr Stewart, to whom I spoke on the telephone yesterday evening, agreed when I discussed the matter with him.
You may perhaps wish to retain these papers until EID's submission reaches you.
