HONG KONG: LETTER FROM MR JAMES JOHNSON MP
1.

.2.
Mrs Cheung's letter to Mr Johnson is identical to one she wrote on the same day to Mr Luard. In that case
Lord Goronwy-Roberts (to whom Mr Luard had passed Mrs Cheung's Flag Bletter) agreed that Mr Stewart should write to Mrs Cheung giving Flag Cher details of the procedure for submitting petitions.
information was then sought from the Hong Kong Government.
Flag D(8)3.
Further
This has now arrived and it would, therefore, be possible for the Minister to send Mr Johnson a fairly full explanation
Mr Johnson of the dispute as seen by the Hong Kong Government. has, however, asked for a reply which he can forward to Mrs Cheung and it would perhaps be best therefore if he were to be sent a copy of the letter Mr Stewart has already written to Mrs Cheung together with a covering letter of explanation. submit a draft on these lines.
