SECRET
LORD PRIVY SEAL'S VISIT TO HONG KONG: 8 TO 10 JANUARY 1982
BRIEF NO 10:
FUTURE OF HONG KONG
POINTS TO MAKE
1.
You have seen the brief for Peking on the future of
Hong Kong (Brief No 2A for China attached). The Secretary
of State decided I should refer merely to his
discussions last March and to the Prime Minister's visit
if approved. We must not scare the Chinese off.
The brief
reflects this.
