HONG KONG AGREEMENT:
LEGISLATION ON PRIVILEGES AND
IMMUNITIES FOR JOINT LIAISON GROUP
1.
We have the following comments on Mr Mason's letter
of 8 November to you (ref P5/143/84).
(a)
We plan to legislate only to provide privileges
and immunities for the five Chinese members of
the Joint Liaison Group while in London,
as
stated in paragraph 2 of the paper. We are not
therefore seeking tax exemption for
representatives of HMG when in London.
