SUBJECT:
CALL ON THE PRIME MINISTER BY THE UNOFFICIAL MEMBERS OF TI HONG KONG EXECUTIVE COUNCIL, 4 JULY 1983
The Governor of Hong Kong and all nine EXCO
Unofficials are calling on the Prime Minister at 1530 on
Monday 4 July for discussions on Hong Kong's future.
I attach:
(a)
(b)
(c)
a suggested line for the Prime Minister to take;
a copy of the Group's programme;
biographical notes on the members of the Group
As the Prime Minister is aware this is the first
visit by a group of Unofficials since the Governor came
with a smaller group in September 1982, prior to the
Prime Minister's visit to the Far East. Since then
Sir S Y Chung and Lydia Dunn have been over separately and
called on Ministers.
Although the EXCO Unofficials are kept fully in the
picture and are closely consulted by the Governor on the
content of the talks and on our strategy, they will
welcome the Prime Minister's reassurance that we shall
continue to work very closely with them and to take
their advice into account throughout the talks.
