addition to submission dated 23 May titled: Hong Kong: MPs Letters,
Mr Frank Hooley, Mr ARthur Latham and Mr Stan Newens amended
letters.

19 May to Mr Rowlands, this is a risk that will
have to be run.

Goronwy-Roberts should reply to the three MPs on
the lines of the attached drafts.

Since these draft replies were prepared two other MPs have written to express concern that a settlement of this dispute has not yet been reached. Draft replies will be submitted shortly. In the meantime a telegram has been sent to Hong Kong asking for an early response to
Mr Stewart's letter of 19 May.
