HONG KONG: VIEWS OF MR ROBERT ADLEY MP

127

1. Mr Luce was grateful for your minute of 5 October. was not at all amused to find Mr Adley had so grossly misrepresented his own (Mr Luce's) views on

He

Hong Kong when speaking to Sir J Cater. He would be grateful if you could reassure the Hong Kong Commissioner (if this is necessary) that Mr Adley was talking absolute nonsense. Mr Adley's allegation, in his latest letter to the Secretary of State, that Mr Luce had specifically asked him to maintain close personal contact with the Chinese Ambassador in London is similarly well off-beam.

2.

Mr Luce has commented that the more we can discourage Mr Adley from the illusion that he can be a useful intermediary between the Chinese Ambassador here and the FCO, the better.
