FUTURE OF HONG KONG: THE QUEEN
Buckingham Palace have told our Communications
Operations Department that they would like to see
telegrams on the future of Hong Kong. Her Majesty does
not feel that She is sufficiently informed on the
subject.
We can of course send the Palace telegrams in the
future of Hong Kong series but it would obviously be
difficult for The Queen to come in in the middle of the
story without some background briefing. In view of the
delicacy of the question the Prime Minister may herself
wish to provide this. You may wish to inform her of the
Palace's request but we shall be submitting within the
hext few days a draft brief for the Prime Minister's use
if desired.
