HONG KONG AND THE MULTI-FIBRE ARRANGEMENT
1.
191
The Governor of Hong Kong will be calling on the PUS at
11.15 a.m. on Monday 26 September; and on Mr Judd and Lord Goronwy
Roberts at 4.30 p.m. on the same day in order to discuss the
prospects for the negotiation of a new EEC/Hong Kong bilateral
agreement on textiles. The Governor will also be seeing Mr Dell
at 10 a.m. on Tuesday morning, 27 September. I attach the
programme for the Governor's visit as it stands at present;
we do not yet know whether, as we have suggested, the Governor
will be going to Brussels to talk to the Commission.
2.
The Governor will be accompanied on his visit to London
by Mr Dorward, Acting Director of Trade, Customs and Industry.
He has also asked that Mr Webb-Johnson, the Assistant Hong
Kong Government Commissioner in London responsible for commercial
matters, should be present at his meetings. I would like to attend
the meeting with FCO Ministers, together with Mr Stern from my
department. Mr Stewart, Head of HKGD, who will be going to Hong
Kong in three weeks time, has particularly asked that he should be
able to sit in.
3.
忄
I submit a brief for the talks with the Governor. HKGD concur.
I draw particular attention to the Prime Minister's comment that in
talking to the Governor we should not take everything he says at face
value since he always fights hard!
