WHITE PAPER ON NATIONALITY LAW
1.
Sir Murray MacLehose said that the main problem concerned
locally-engaged Administrative Officers who were worried about
their future in the event of a Chinese take-over. He saw no
solution apart from a satisfactory agreement with China on the future of Hong Kong. But it was a sign of trouble which would get more difficult as 1997 drew nearer. The White Paper
had acted as a catalyst for people's fears.
2.
Lord Carrington asked how many people were involved.
Sir M MacLehose said about 30,000 including the Police.
