4. The Hong Kong team

team visiting London for the discussions on this matter are nothing to do with the Joint Liaison Group. The Nationality Order is a different matter entirely, including my different people. I realise that HKD have been a considerable drain on your funds in recent weeks, largely because of the JLG, but, unfortunately in the wake of the Hong Kong agreement, everything seems to be happening at once. I believe August and September will be quiet months from our point of view and would not anticipate having to trouble you again in the

the foreseeable future.

I hope you will be able to approve financial

authority for the lunch.
