10 Downing Street
The Prime Minister has asked me to reply to your letter
of 12 July about compensation for property in Tsuen Wan
which has been resumed in connection with the construction
of the Mass Transit Railway in Hong Kong.
I understand that you had a meeting with the Head of
the Hong Kong and General Department in the Foreign and
Commonwealth Office before your return to Hong Kong, and
that the points which you made have been brought to the
attention of the Hong Kong Government. I also understand
that discussions about the clearance of the Sai Lau Kok
buildings are continuing in Hong Kong. Mrs Thatcher hopes
that it will be possible to reach a satisfactory solution
of the outstanding problems in accordance with the
provisions of Hong Kong law.
