c.c. Mr Donald
PQ:
FUTURE OF HONG KONG
1.
if
641416
I submit a draft reply to the PQ put down by Sir Bernard Braine MP
for written reply on 8 June.
2. The draft reply is uncontroversial and has been agreed by Hong Kong
and Peking.
3. This is the first time that Sir Bernard has, in the last three
years at least, shown any interest in Hong Kong. He is not a member of the Anglo-Hong Kong Parliamentary Group and it may be his
interest in the Falkland Islands which has led to this question.
