1. I HAVE DISCUSSED WITH HEADS OF MISSION THE MINISTER'S IMPENDING APPEARANCE BEFORE THE SELECT COMMITTEE. NONE HAVE ANY POINSU TO BRING TO HIS ATTENTION BEYOND THOSE ALREADY REPORTED, EXCEPT THAT TRADE COMMISSIONER HONG KONG WAS NOT CERTAIN THAT YOU WILL HAVE SEEN HIS TELEGRAM REPORTING TO FCO THE ANNOYANCE OF THE COMMITTEE THAT THEIR VIEWS EXPRESSED TO LORD BELSTEAD BEFORE THEIR VISIT WEV COMO¤YED TO THE HONG KONG
IN GOVERNMENT. THERE WAS APPARENTLY ALSO SOME FEELING THAT, THEIR VIEW, LORD BELSTEAD HAD IMPLIED THAT HMG HAD HELPED HONG KONG IN THE MFA NEGOTIATIONS MORE THAN WAS THE CASE. SUGGEST YOU SEEK FURTHER ADVICE FROM DICK CLIFT IN HONG KONG DEPARTMENT.

I PROPOSE RETURNING BY TG 912 ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND OUGHT THEREFORE TO BE IN LONDON IN TIME TO ATTEND PART OF THE SEATAG
