CONFIDENTIAL
Line to Take
I recommend that Lord Goronwy-Roberts should make three points:
(i) HMG entirely supports the Governor's decision to grant the partial amnesty in view of the assurance he had received that syndicated corruption within the RHKPF had been eliminated;
(ii)
The November amnesty does not in any way mark the end of Hong Kong's fight against corruption and HMG strongly supports the Governor's efforts;
(iii) HMG believes that there is a good chance that the recent
storm in the RHKPF has been weathered and that it will soon
become an effective and respected Force once more.
