SUBJECT:

Thank you for your letter of 28 March about your visit

to China and the Far East.

I am very grateful for your account of your meetings

with Zhou Nan and Huang Hua. I am sure that your

explanation of the legal and parliamentary aspects of

the negotiations on Hong Kong's future will have been

helpful to your interventions. These are areas where

Chinese and British practice are far apart and under-

standing is not easy to achieve.

Thank you also for your good wishes for my own visit.
