ISTRY Action Taken

in ICMIIS

As you know, following the Prime Minister's visit to

Peking last September we have been talking to the Chinese

about the future of Hong Kong. It occurred to me that it

might be useful if I were to bring you up-to-date on these

contacts, on Privy Councillor terms. I am making the same

offer to David Owen (as well as Denis Healey) and it might

make sense if I were to see you and David together.

If you

would find this useful, perhaps your office could be in touch

with mine to fix a time. We might meet for a few minutes in

my room at the House one day soon.
