HONG KONG: MR LUCE'S VISIT ON 25 SEPTEMBER
PROBLEM
A 1. Hong Kong have asked for our advice on how Mr Luce wishes
spend his time during his
to
transit stop in the territory on 25
September.
RECOMMENDATION
2. I recommend that Mr Luce considers a light programme as outlined
in the attached draft telegram.
BACKGROUND
3.
originally
during
suggested that Mr Luce should
Sir Edward Youde
stop over in Hong Kong during his return journey to London from
Peking in order to brief the Governor on his visit to China. As flight schedules demand that Mr Luce spends
10 hours in Hong Kong,
he may wish to take the opportunity to do a little more. He could
meet with members of UMELCO and possibly visit the new Bowring
Closed Refugee Camp which Mr Hartling, the United Nations High
If we are Still
Commissioner for Refugees, s aw last month.
delaying a reply to SCORRI by then, this would give evidence of our
interest and concern.
But equally Mr Luce could expect to be
pressed very hard on the subject.
4.
Mr Luce will be paying an official visit to Hong Kong in
October, and if ០៧ this occasion he would prefer a less business-oriented programme, I think this would also be acceptable.
