MOTION FOR THE EASTER ADJOURNMENT
M. 14/3
1. The motion for the Easter Adjournment will be debated on Tuesday 26 March starting at about 10.00 pm and lasting a maximum of 3 hours. The Leader of the House (Mr Biffen) has asked for briefing material for his use in winding up the debate.
2. In the past, briefing has been required on any FCO matter which may be raised by backbenchers as reasons why "the House should not adjourn". Instead, on this occasion it has been decided to concentrate on only a few highly topical issues.
3.
4.
The subject of concern to your Department is:
HONG KONG (INCLUDING REFUGEES)
As always, material should be succinct. The brief should be in the form of a speaking note (unclassified) of not more than 200 words, double spaced, supplemented by a separate brief background note as necessary also on one side, double spaced, of not more than 400 words.
5. I should be grateful if your brief could reach me by NOON on Thursday 21 March at the latest. At the same time please let me have the name and telephone number of an official who could be
'on call' in case additional briefing is required during the debate.
6. The attached note on the presentation of briefs may be useful to your Secretarial Staff.
